Internet on your laptop isn't always available (e.g. when your in the train). Of course you can use a dongle, but for me it's a 1000 times faster to use my phone instead of booting up my laptop, starting up my dongle and have terribly low d/l speeds. My dongle costs €45 a month with a 1GB d/l limit and a 128kb d/l speed, while my phone internet subscription costs only €10 a month for the same speed and no d/l limit.
And why shouldn't a phone be able to do more advanced stuff? Using your analogy, we should remove the keyboards from computers, as typing should be exclusive to typewriters:doh:
Your problem being?
And using your phone to do the exact same things you would have otherwise done using a PC isn't "doing it yourself"?

Way to incorrectly assess my statement. never once said computers are doing it yourself or that it doesnt qualify as being lazy or anything? what are you talking about???? your entire reply is bashing computers when i never said computers should be placed above and beyond cell phones. i simply said get a damn computer because you cant lug around a giant computer, can you? nor should you. people got along JUST FINE without Cellphones doing all it does now. JUST FINE. I get along JUST FINE without a cell phone, and im a college student. Theres rarely an event that JUST CANT WAIT for you to get to a computer. RARELY.
Besideswith the prices AND convenience, its not all a good thing. Too much convenience is a bad thing. causes people to get lazy and SO boring. Also causes dependency. If the sun sent an EMP burst, itd be the god dam apocalypse. People wouldnt be able to instantly reach their friend to have an unimportant conversation (if it can be called that, even) then Theyd go and shoot themselves. if they couldnt update their facebook status theyd riot in the dam streets. Thats because technology is TOO convenient. Technology much be done in moderation. who the hell needs a 150$ phone if they dont even use half the features. just buy another phone and save some money.
convenience in moderation is golden. People need to learn how to do things WITH and WITHOUT technology. but the WITHOUT part is being slowly whittled away from existence. and what happens when electronics stop working? the world will be back to the stone ages.
Its like Jenga. You need to build a structure that can stand AND have blocks taken out. If your tower falls completely after a single block is taken out, then your tower is weak and terrible. if your tower can stand with blocks taken out, youve got a structure worthy enough. if technology fails and you dont know how to work without it, your screwed. and thats why technology like computers and phones and whatever shouldnt be everything. Of course its good its there and it helps, but you cant go overboard.
I cant believe no one gets this but me. And IM the young one. Ahahahaha thats irony right there.
