0bama Steve gets a smart phone.

[BlueStateSaint]

When I went to the space musueum there was something I saw that said that today's cheapo calculator that you get at $$ store has more memory/function capacity than the computer that took the guys to the moon. Anyone heard that before?

Yes.  That's how far computing power has come.

O ho hum Steve. Now you have an object you carry in your pocket that is way smarter and way more valuable that you.

It probably has a calculator and can do math which is the undoing of all Progressiveness.  You will have a tombstone within six months now.

DUmmie Suffers Smart Phone Culture Shock

Some DUmmies have discovered Smart Phones and they are puzzled by the technology as you can see in this THREAD, "I finally got a smart phone." Guess what? Your humble correspondent also got a smart phone a couple of months ago. An LG Motion. So why did I wait so long? The main reason is that I wanted a cell phone with HD quality video and since the LG Motion has excellent 1080 HD video, I went for it. You can see for yourself the quality from this VIDEO recorded recently on my LG Motion. It features my niece and nephew, Genesis and James Jones. BTW, I will soon be featuring them in their own online video show. It won't be your typical children's show since it will also be of great interest to adults as well. For example, one show will change the way you eat breakfast. No kidding. Okay, enough of PJ "home movies" and back to the DUmmies... The amazing thing here is that just 10 years ago, crude phone cameras represented the cutting edge of cell phones. We take it for granted now, but smart phones have radically changed much of our life styles. If you doubt me, think back to the time in the not too distance past when, if you wanted to make a call on the road, you had to use a pay phone that could well have been covered in the lice of a drug dealer. So let us now watch the DUmmies enter the Smart Phone world in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, thinking that Genesis and James Jones might soon be auditioning for the Food Network now that they have an opening, is in the [brackets]:

I can't stop laughing at this.

For the smartest people on the internet they sure do devolve into weeping children rather quickly with any mention of technology in a phone.  They all seem to go backward;

I don't use a smart phone

Well I don't use a calculator, I use a slide rule

Well I use an abacus!

The last time I used a slide rule I worked for Terminix and had a fumigators license.  That was in the mid 90's.  I shouldn't have let that license go ...

All engines stop.

The DUmmies consider themselves to be the progressives.

What are they doing resisting technological advances? Isn't that a non-progessive thing to do?

To a DUmmie, progress is <====== back that way toward barbarism and savagery. To a conservative, progress is ======> that way to a brighter, more intelligent, more civil future for all humanity.

My point exactly.  I don't know so much they are resisting as it is they are fearing the new technologies.
