The Samsung Galaxy S4: Smartphone Innovation hits the wall.

[Marr]

67. I'm 40 and work in the tech industry, and smart phones make me feel old.

It's the first big cultural thing I've seen that I just *don't get*.

So it's a phone with a screen. So what? I could text from an old flip phone. That was fine. Maps are convenient, especially where I live in Los Angeles, but since I'm not a complete moron I never had that much trouble just, you know, thinking or reading an actual paper map anyway.

I see people sitting together and texting other people, or going to interesting events in person and viewing the whole thing through a tiny screen on their silly little phone and I just wonder why people give a shit about this stuff.

Having said that, I'm posting this from a water cooled, custom-built monster PC that my dad didn't *get*, so... I get it in theory... but still.
