And yet I have a nephew, in his mid-twenties, that think they are great. I just don’t get it.

Unfortunately, here where I live, we see a lot of them, pretty much daily. I always cringe when I see them, totally ugly. How would someone like to be seen in one.....??
Funny, I was in ER/hospital, and they asked me the same question.
If I'd felt better, I'd have said 8675309

People are addicted to their Phones, it drives me nuts to see people crossing street looking at phones, walking in parking lots looking at phones. It has become a sickness.
I honestly would like to see the LAWS against being on phone or texting while driving be as stiff as DUI. Talking Hand's Free is not bad, but Driving with Phone in hand talking or texting should be like a DWI DUI.
Maybe I am bitter because I was Stopped for School Bus, unload kids in opposite direction as I was going. When I look at bus stopping coming in opposite direction, there was noting behind me in my mirrors.
I hear Boom, lunged forward 7-10 feet, as I was hit from behind. Walking back to driver who hit me, in the asked if they saw me stopped, saw School Bus with Flashing lights. Reply was ,I was looking down.
Being fair this was a life changing event, looking at THREE SURGICAL Procedures to fix my old body. Best part is the at fault party has state Minimum coverage. Could not even cover one procedure.

If that's the best I cringe at the worst.

I was making joke about the situation, can not do anything about it but live life.
But let say every time I am in TRAFFIC, and see someone with Phone in Hand, it appear different then before I because satistic.
My butty is retired Ambulance Guy, FireFighter, Paramedic, and SWAT Medic. He say no TEST or Call is worth taking like, crippling, and loosing your freedom because of a text, or call while driving.
THINK HE IS RIGHT
Computers.
They're fun for doing stuff on here and other places. But not in everything else we do or need daily!
Seems we have more problems today than we did 30 years ago due to computers. Everyone relies on them, then when the power goes out, satellites goes down, system crashes, hacked. Everything comes to a halt because we no longer have the ability to do anything on our own without the use of a computer.
Company I work for, all computer and satellite controlled. Four times a year we loose satellite communications for a day and the whole work force nation wide comes to a halt. This industry has been around since the beginning of time, ran with paper and a pencil till 20 years ago. No one remembers how it worked before computers and satellites. Now they loose millions when the system shuts down. Bad of me but I laugh when it happens! Always keep old school handy just in case!

Technology is fine until it fails, or the day the AI, decides to Kell everyone off.
While not the worst product ever, it certainly changed things around.
Back in 1998, my choices for blades was CVS, Gillette, Schick and Wilkinson Sword.
In Oct 1998, the Mach 3 was introduced. Closer shaves, pivoting head, and consistent blades. The price wasn't too bad either.
Last Christmas, I got 16 different blades for Christmas, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Microwaves that continue to beep each minute FOREVER until you cancel/open the door.
Automobile dash cellphone holders.
Automated corporate answer menus that are designed to keep customers in a death loop until they give up in frustration.

If there's anything new I positively despise it would have to be self checkouts as well as those touchscreen kiosks that a lot of fast food joints have.
Defective microwave timers.
If I punch in 103, mine counts down to 100, but instead of then going to 99, it jumps down to 59!

I’m not replying to anyone directly because I’m not looking for an argument, but I’m confused about the robot lawnmower stuff. I have a robot lawnmower and it uses three blades around the size of GEM blades, I’m not sure what animal those could shred. Very very tiny mice I guess, but I don’t have many mice sitting on my lawn, if I did I think they’d move when they saw a lawnmower coming towards them.
My mower runs 16 hours a day 7 days a week and to the best of my knowledge has never killed anything.

The poster included insects in the Animal World.
Here in Germany they repeatedly have brought reports in television about hedgehogs that had been injured/killed by robot lawnmowers. It's rather tragic. They also shred toads, which periodically undertake a sort of migration, looking for pond. Both animals are protected.
