Ethics when using smartphones or whatever technologies

News have been reporting on how gadgets a.k.a smartphones and tablets are "destroying" the family institution.

1. Spouses having affairs when the other suspicious busy body spouse sneakily check the phone and found lovey dovy messages from a third party.

2. Children absorb with texting and surfing online with their gadgets over dining with family.

But besides family, i find it extremely irritating when friends do the same too. Every second wanna text/surf online. Thank God my close friends don't do that but i have encountered some during "dates". Made me want to shove the phone down throat and out of his ass. It's a MAJOR TURN OFF during dates. What could be the cause of this ?

1. The jackass must have think im not interesting, hence chose to busy himself with his damn phone.

2. The jackass doesn't know how to communicate with a woman, hence play with his phone while one of us figure out what to talk about.

So basically a person who likes to keep himself/herself occupied with the gadget while in the presence of other fellow human beings can only mean the following :

1. His/Her online friends are more interesting.
2. Real live humans are BORING to be around with.
3. Don't know how to communicate with real live humans.
4. Naturally born to be rude and inconsiderate with the "i don't care what u think about me and my gadgets".


Going back to the breakdown of the family institution due to these gadgets, i don't understand why parents must get smartphones and tablets for their children. Every where i go, i can see children playing games on the tablets while on family outing. Why in the f*ck do u need to bring the tablet if you are on family outing? To keep your children occupied while you, the parent will be busy buying your stuff? Sometimes children just need to tolerate with the boredom. Might as well you ask your child to bring the school textbook and read it instead of playing games. It irks me to see children playing with tablets.

When tablets were not created ages ago, children back then were just fine. They don't need games to keep themselves occupied while out on a family outing. I remember never bringing my Tetris game when i go out with my family. The Tetris game was left at home.

So yeah, if parents want to accuse their children of being too absorb with their smartphones and tablets, parents can only blame themselves for getting these unnecessary gadgets. If your child is below 17, why in the hell do they need a smart phone? You are only exposing them to danger especially with no parental supervision. I know parents are "pressured" socially to get these gadgets but they need to overcome that.

As for partners who have affairs via gadgets, don't blame the gadgets. Gadgets only make it EASIER TO HAVE AFFAIRS. ages ago, men only can have affairs with hookers since they have to manually drive all the way to the brothels. Now you can even screw with ur sis/bro in law, friends, colleagues etc. You simply got to live with the fact your partner is an asshole of a player so either you leave such partner, or you caged him like a loyal animal.

The only way to solve this issue is if you learn to respect others and be considerate to others and make the effort to start a conversation and listen. Not bury yourself with the gadgets.
