Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for November 26, 2016

Somebody let them use their tablet or laptop before he totally freaks out.

Why is that funny? It’s a tragedy.

Smartphones are great at making us flip-phone owners feel superior.

I know someone like this. Actually I know at least two, possibly three, folks like this. Letting them use anything other than a smartphone what help. And the first one thought I would want one myself.

We already know that Rat.

The battery on my phone died, and I finally had to get a smart phone. Damned thing is smarter than I am. I’m still learning how to use it.

This is so on the mark it hurts.

While driving a vehicle phones can get you into as much trouble as alcohol. Who would of thought it years ago !

I am old enough where I didn’t have a cellphone for most of my life, now I feel naked without it.

I upgraded from a flip-phone to a no-contract touch-phone and LOVE it.

My first cell phone was a brick. Now I’m on my third flip phone. I don’t need data on the spot, though it would be handy to answer questions sometimes. I need a phone I can stick in my pocket with change, keys, pocketknife, screws and nails, etc. A flat screen phone wouldn’t last long. As for Facebook, I can waste all my time without it.

Agreed Rat

…guilty.

My only defense is that in my line of work having instant access to the office is beneficial to the clients.

Habits are habits, Rat…

I have a Tracfone (with all its limited glory), but spend much more time listening to the 150 or so songs I’ve stored on it than actually using it as a phone. Now my CHROMEBOOK, on the other hand…

neighbor bob needs to get back on the triathlons. the training gets you used to prolonged periods away from your smartphone.

My wife does all the phoning. I’m waiting for SSS (smart smoke signals)!

I’ll admit it, I text a lot and play games and browse the internet on my Smartphone.

Shoot me.

Pride myself with my ’09 Capt.Kirk, mostly leave it at home as an answering machine.

Rat speaks the truth.

“We,” Rat?

I have no mobile phone at all.

Yes, I am hopelessly ancient.

At least I don’t have Neighbor Bob-itis!

At work today, I left my phone plugged in in the basement while i went up to the 5th floor. We were apart for nearly 15 minutes!!!

Rat shouldn’t be sad, I mean like he only sits around watching tv and drinking beer.
