not interested at all. believe it or not, my cellphone is 13 years old, and Friede and I were very reluctant to get one at all. I very rarely use it, only for very important calls and only because there are hardly any public phones anymore. and I definitely don't need all that knickknack of modern cellphones or even i-pads; all I want is to be able to make a necessary call when I am not at home.
our kids who are 14 meanwhile consider us to be completely outdated in that regard, and of course they are always up-to-date with technology, and they have Pokemon Go as well. for some reason people believe they have to be available all the time, and a third of the population have the phantom ringing syndrome. I can live without that |

No. Both my kids got the app, but I asked my daughter not to go around our house looking for Pokemon fearing possible privacy concerns. My daughter found a Pokemon in her bedroom. I do hope she caught it as I don't want to have to call pest control. A Pokemon infestation is no laughing matter, and you know you're in trouble when you delete the app but the Pokemon remain.

My co-workers are talking about it right now and I never felt so disconnected to the world.

I went over my local park for a bike ride yesterday and there were kids wandering around with mobile phones everywhere looking for Pokemon. Honestly, they're not looking where they're going so next time I'm just going to mow them down.

I was out and about on Saturday in my local park and it seemed that everyone between the ages of 11 and 35 was wondering about like zombies staring at their phones.
I suppose if it gets vitamin D deprived pasty kids off the couch and out into the sun it's not so bad. |

I suppose it does have that going for it but they're not looking at their surroundings, they're just staring at their phones. It's just a matter of time before one of them runs across a road after a Pokemon without looking first... (mind you, a pensioner did that to me whilst I was out cycling on Sunday and he definitely wasn't chasing one). |

Not me, never!........very upsetting last week. We were in MD and DE last two weeks for lacrosse tournaments for my son. Went to DC and VA and visited Arlington Cemetery among other areas, there were a couple kids camps touring the grounds and all the kids were playing it....I told one camp counselor that I thought it was disrespectful that kids waking these hallowed grounds playing a game on their phones.
He agreed as he was putting his phone in his pocket.......

I was rather thinking about the fact that the chief of my team is already 32 (I'm 38) and that we are working as archivists, a job for normal and serious people, right? So, I was expecting discussions about the last article about records management or electronic archives in the last issue of La Gazette des Archives, not something like: "Holy s***, this m*****f***** has found a Leviathan near the banks of the Seine! And now, he tells me he also caught a Raichu!" |

When I see a giant bowl of cole slaw, I stick my entire hand into it and roll it around for awhile. Then I go somewhere to pee.
