Sometimes I have. Iphone is interchangeable with smartphone. Its just the Iphone was the first to do it like that and make it popular, make the internet popular.

People are influenced by social media. Social media is on the internet. The internet has a pre-existing culture, "pwning" being on of the things in that culture. It was for nerds mostly. Those who had an interest in computers. Iphone, smart phone, gave direct access to that with the help of 'apps' such as facebook. Facebook making it acceptable to post ones face, personal information. Thus tying the internet, with its culture that isn't for the real world, with real world. Nerds could understand this but do grandma and grandpa who just want to look at their grandkids photos?

Thus my hate for the thing is not so much the device but what the results of that device are. Trying to preserve one culture in real life and another on the computer world.

I mark this in mind when a co-worker came up to me in early 2008 and showed me his hos on facebook via his smart phone device. It was a dark rainy day.

Gotta live with this now. That means the 94 and 4 year old are both gonna get skull fucked by it. I don't have to like it, I don't have to like mobile games but I cannot deny the influences they have. I will continue to make jokes and talk shit.
