Ha yourself

Where I tend to go cell phones are useless. And cell phone owners have no higher chance than anyone else. As for me... man you are a moron. Let see here...

1. Advanced First aid kit - Check!
2. Emergency Water - Check!
3. MRE's - Check!
4. CCW license - Check!
5. 10mm combat pistol - Check!
6. Road flares - Check!
7. Battlefield triage training - Check!
8. Combat experience - Check!
9. Advanced driving school - Check!
10. Compass - Check!
11. Emergency blankets - Check!
12. Flare gun with flares - Check!
13. Emergency cash - Check!

That's what is in my vehicle, and at work. The handgun I carry at all times when away from home. How prepared are you? Do you know what to do if there is an active shooter in your area? I do, and I also have the training to render the active shooter, in active thereby saving lives that a cell phone wouldn't. Keep in mind in active shooter cases the cops wait... they wait till the shooter is dead because he killed himself or he stops shooting, calling the police only lets them know where to collect your body.

Will you be able to quickly identify a sucking chest wound and initiate immediate aid so the person doesn't drown in their own blood? I know I will stand a better chance than you or most others with just your cell phones. Care to try again?

What happens when your tech fails... and it does and will. What if your batteries are low or dead and there is no ready way to recharge them? What if your are in a cell dead zone (they still exist) then what? You just going to sit and wait hoping for help? Or you are rendered unconscious then what (of course in this case it's game over for everyone)? The illusion of safety is just that, an illusion.

You rely too much on your phone. As for computers, proxy servers and IP spoofing for those that know how or care to bother with it. Also the PC isn't with you every moment tracking your every move. There are always some levels of acceptance.

Another thing, unlike most of you here, I don't really need to fill my day with using a PC. I grew up in an age where we had to actually use our own mind to entertain ourselves. How long can you go without tech before you start to jones for it?

Take it or leave it I don't need it as much as you or other do. And I bet you voted for Obama too.
