Ok, any new stories about people hurting themselves staring at their smartphones while running around in public?

Darwin needs his due!

I downloaded and can't figure out how to use it. Obviously, I'm too lazy to do a lot of walking tho. I mean I'm too lazy to read the instructs. I just wanted to see what all the hype was about. Might be a good time to buy put options on Nontendo. I could see lawsuits coming from kids getting hit walking in the streets chasing a Pokemon. Assuming it works like that. IDK. I was addicted to doodle jump at one time. Hit play and off you go. Perfect game for lazy people.

Pokeman will soon fall by the wayside just like 8 track tapes, flagpole sitting, swallowing goldfish, discos and people who listen to unclebuck!

Pokemon Go isn't even a game, it's just a data mining app / pedometer. It takes no skill what so ever.

Just like Bob Dylan said the times they are a changing. I also saw the story about the VCR's. My wife just retired after 40 plus years at the same company. She started at the company doing secretarial work. We were unloading some of the things out of her office and I came across a notebook containing this strange writing...I asked the wife what it was. She tells me it was shorthand something she was taught back in high school and used early in her career. I think that the only people who may still be practicing this is probably court stenographers ! I haven't heard the word mimeograph in decades !
