I just returned to my humble abode after a short ride in the rural area in which I reside, it just amazes me that in this rural area with a lot of new folk building their McMansions that they all must have broken arms or maybe its just their brain pan not being up to operating temperature yet. At one time in this area when you passed a neighbor or anyone for that matter you would give and receive a simple wave, an acknowledgement of some sort, a friendly social message, now one should consider themselves fortunate for a possible nod,very seldom a wave. Mostly what you see is dead stare or even sometimes the one finger salute!
Yet I see folks running their piehole on their so called smartphones what a joke that term is! When a device is brainier than the operator, that is not very{SMART} but is that a good thing?
Here is a bit of input I recently stumbled upon concerning smart devices but lets says not so brainy operators!
Here is a new term to me {smombie…combo of smartphone and yes zombie} you see the fools everywhere, a person walking and not paying a lick of attention to where they are, nor what they are doing, possibly not even knowing who they are without checking their name tag!!!
Hence what is the next law?
"Distracted walking" with the penalty being the loss of smartphone for a number of days, months or in some cases life with no phone. lmao or even making them use a rotary dial bakelite phone on a party line with Mr. Jones,Ol' Miss Biddy, and five other folks listening in on granny's chocolate chip recipe and the gossip in betwixt ingredients!
That is for all of the geezers that know what a Bakelite phone or a party line is!!
Now in Augsburg, Germany the city fathers have had to embed pedestrian traffic signals in the sidewalks so the operators of SMARTPHONES who are obviously not bright enough to keep from being run over at crosswalks and such!
In Chongquing, China, slow moving walking lanes were established on sidewalks called "mobile lanes for slow moving smombies!
