Now if you have some suggestions on how a smartphone can generate more future income than the cost associated with the smartphone, I'm all ears.

thavoice;1072533 wrote:One of the few times I have to agree with ya. Most people are brainwashed in thinking they need smartphones, but they dont. I see it every day where people try to justify the reasoning to get it. Years ago it was justifying why to get your college kid a phone. Then it was justifying why their HS kid needed a phone. Then it waas justifying why their 16yr old needs a phone, then it is justifying why your 12-14 year old needs a phone. etc etc etc.

Hell, I am in the biz and I believe a vast majority of people do NOT need them.

Your argument is stupid. Do you need the computer you're typing on?

Do you need the wife who has you by the balls, thus turning you into a baby back bitch? Not really.

No different than bringin in a book or newspaper back in the day.

Also notice that people are talking on the phone while in the bathroom at a higher percentage. Least once a week I hear some dipshit taking a dump while talking on his phone. I always make sure to flush twice when I notice this.

This allows me to increase my productivity because I can check and respond to about an extra 25 emails while waiting in traffic each day. When at the office I know I can save the less important emails for the drive home giving me more time to prepare presentations and meet with clients. The hour of driving each day that I can now use as a billable hour to a client easily pays for my phone and cell phone bill for a year in less then a couple months. So not only do I increase my productivity but I increase my billable hours/income.
