I do not have a smart phone, or a super phone, or whatever those phones that think for you are called, and I don't really see the use. I mean, yes, they allow you to be accessible by anyone at any point, and they give you the ability to detach yourself from reality entirely, so what's not to like? I had no answer, until I saw a commercial they're playing to promote virgin mobile phones. Granted, it's well put together and cleverly co-opts punk music for a very un-punklike thing, but for some reason it just rubbed me the wrong way. I still can't quite explain it, but something about a guy with tape covering his mouth, texting furiously with a wild eyed serial killer look on his face turns me away from the whole useless crap at the palm of your hands thing.
