Does anyone else here not own a Smartphone and not have any Social Media?

Smartphones and Social Media are the ultimate defining characteristics of a normie, true robots reject all of that.
>>
>>28396007
True robots embrace technology, its all they have. Why do you use the Internet when there are so many normies online?

count me in senpai, I still own a nokia brick which i almost never use

4chan is social medium you fucking normal faggot

>T-true r-robots use smoke signals
It depends on how you use your smartphone.
>>
>>28396007
I have a smartphone, but it has a bad ESN so it can't text or make calls. I got it for cheap and thought I could undo it, but it hasn't worked out. It didn't matter though because u realized I never communicate with anyone.

I like to use it as a mobile emulator, porn machine, music device, etc.

I have a 2011 iphone, no social media though
>>
>>28396007
No thanks my phone is more then a botnet enough. If you read all the shit google coollects from your phone you will realize how evil they are and I dont need another evil company as facebook collecting my information as well.

I don't have any mobile phone at all. And no Facebook.

No smart phone and no social media here. I have an old flip phone out of service that I only use as an alarm clock.
Although I do have an empty lurker DA account and I guess with the shit direction that site went I technically do have a social media..
>>
>>28396007
I have a smartphone and use it for everything but being social. I don't have any social media accounts because I don't want to talk to anyone I used to know, and no one cares about me so it's pointless.
>>
I've never had a phone at all.
>>
I have a smarphone that is so old, i only use it to communicate with family on whatsapp, they spam me. I'm not a social person.

>>28396207
I would agree with this. I always thought it was kind of stupid when I've seen a bias against smart phones as being exclusively for normalfags.

Though, I keep seeing normal people talk about Snapchat and Faceswap and Angry Birds and etc. and I just don't have any interest in that stuff, but a smart phone is still a great utility.

>organizing notes and lists
>setting alarms
>listening to music while on a walk
>keeping tons of PDFs of books, comic books and reference books in one place to read while in bed
>using a dictionary to look up words while watching anime/reading untranslated manga
>making quick recordings of ideas when playing the guitar
>flashcard app to practice with easily during the day

I used to think smartphones were stupid and useless and for dumb normalfags with a lot of money, but that was before I got one and realized that it's in how you use it. You don't have to use it for dumb normalfag shit.

I don't have a smartphone, but I've been looking at getting one of those chinese rebrand ones. They look pretty nice and are fairly cheap for the specs + good performance. Just wonder if anybody has experience with them.

This. There's even a DnD app that is basically the entire 5th edition guidebook in searchable form. Makes tabletop DnD a fuckload easier since you don't have to wait to pass around a book anymore.
>>
>>28396539
I just keep tons of PDFs of TRPG books on my phone. I don't have friends to play them with, but it's cool to have them all there to read conveniently.
>>
>>28396588
You could always join an online group on Roll20, but of course in-person DnD is a fuckload better. I just lucked out in finding a few fellow autists to play with.

I have an old phone that I only use for the occasional contact with mother or when something on the internet needs a phone number.

I feel like an old man, I used to be the "Computer guy", now I don't understand new technology nor do I want to.

Mother once gave me her smartphone while we where driving somewhere to set up some music and I could literally not figure out how it works, she had to do it while keeping one eye on the road and managed it in 5sec.

I'm in Uni now and I reckon there is about 80% of information I am missing because I don't have the university app and don't check the 5+ social learning platforms where the profs share notes and tasks and whatever. Thankfully I'm legit autism so I've gotten by with memorization this far but I fear sooner or later I will miss an exam announcement or something because of my hermit like life.

I have a smartphone but not social media. I need to shitpost constantly to survive and most of the time I don't want to leave the bed to do it.
>>
>>28396533
At first, those chinese smartphones were absolutely awful, but now the tech has come far enough that they're pretty competent. Honestly though considering you can get an LG Tribute for $40 on Virgin Mobile I wouldn't even bother with offbrands, not worth the headache.
>>
>>28396007

I'm 25 and have never owned a smart phone, iphone or any mobile device.

You may as well be throwing money down a toilet.

I've looked at Roll20 and I don't get a good feeling from it, nor have I heard anything good about it, mostly just people saying it sucks.

I can always continue to read TRPG books and daydream about playing them with someone, that's still fun.

Enjoy your easy to bend phone and probably a chinese botnet phone. I would not trust those chinese people if i was you they are notorious for liking to spy on foreigners and to frute force into servers.

who cares, everyone is doing that nowadays. You can't avoid it

Well i rather be part of the american botnet then the chinese botnet or russian botnet.

I did get a smart phone a few months ago. It's a tiny tracfone thing that was on sale for a dollar at a dollar store, so I went ahead and got it. It's cool that I can use it to browse 4chan when the power goes out, but otherwise, I don't care for it. I don't know how to use the functions beyond calling people, I don't know anything about apps or what the good ones are or even how to get them. I'm glad I didn't spend any more than a dollar on it.

I don't use facebook, I had a twitter account once, but it was just to follow a streamer and an anime bot. I've stopped caring since then.

Reporting in. Deleted all my social media and only have a regular phone. I don't think normies are really self-aware how much their lives are defined by those two addicitions, its probably worse then our imageboard addictions by a great deal
>>
>>28396007
I own neither, unless you consider a $40 Walmart phone that doesn't have text/call capability as owning a phone. I can't remember the last time I used it. Simply can't get passed the fact of paying for something every month that will largely be ignored, and the only people I'd talk to would be my aunt and sister. Same with social media, no accounts at all except a gmail account that gets redirected to a different email address.

I have saved an incredible amount of money this way.

Image boards are social media dipshit

>I used to be the "Computer guy", now I don't understand new technology

I'm just going to interrupt for a moment. There is no such thing as 'new technology'. The computer science and math and physics etc. underlying computing will probably never change. If your 'technology knowledge' gets outdated in a matter of years, it means it wasn't tech knowledge in the first place, but just obsoleting trivia about particular hardware that was fashionable at the moment.

Screencap my post, one day you'll see what a pain in the ass staying updated becomes and how wrong you were (that is, assuming you don't end up flipping burgers for a living)

>>28398701
Technically it's still social media even if you're anonymous because you're interacting with others.
>>
>>28397622

Never bought a smartphone (no money) but I did try to make a facebook once, but I posted like three things then stopped using it forever.
Sometimes I use it to tell my friend to get onto steam.

Repoorting in. 25 cents a text, but I get about 1 or two texts a week so it's not an issue. Had this since 2010.

I have a smart phone but it's only because my flip phone finally died, I just got the smartphone because it was free with my plan.
Never owned a social media account though.
