Pedtextrains Are People Too!

This is serious. People all around us are obsessed with their smartphones. They could seriously hurt themselves! They are seriously hurting themselves. They could hurt any one of us because they drive cars. Think of you driving down a 2-lane highway. Think about how close you and that car travelling in the opposite direction pass away from each other travelling at 65 miles an hour. A little bit of Text Drift and I lose a Dear Reader.

People walking while talking on their phones are so distracted that they bump into things and are falling down onto the ground all over the Good Ole USofA. There are lots of videos on the Internet showing this craziness. You could spend days watching them all. (Please tell me you are going to spend all your days watching them all.) The saddest part is many, if not all, pick themselves up and walk away looking at their phones.

AI could help here. Many people are having nervous breakdowns because they are walking and can’t find anyone out there to talk to. That’s because the people they are calling to talk to are already talking to someone else. Surely, AI can come up with an App that will talk to people who have no one to talk to. The Talking App Person can be just as interesting as a real person. That ought to be a piece of cake. The only drawback Fella sees is when the Lonely Talker asks the Talking App Person to Do Lunch. That could be a real problem and result in lots of Mental Health Issues having to do with Rejection. AI could work on the Do Lunch Issue right after they have handled the Talking App Person Issue.

·   There is another predicament that is just as serious as the No One To Talk To Issue. It is hard to believe knowing how addicted we are to Smart Phones, but some people are so absentminded that they forget their phones at home. They get far enough away that, when they realize that they forgot their phone, they are too far to crawl back home. Why do they have to crawl back home? That’s because once they realize they do not have their phone, they lose the ability to walk. That’s right, They Can’t Walk Without Talking On Their Phones! Thank heaven for Good Samaritans because they are coming to the aid of these whimpering Former Constant Talkers laying on the ground in front of them and are calling 991 to come and get them.

·   Many people say they are going to die if they can't get to talk to someone (anyone) on their phones. From across the Fruited Plain reports are coming in telling us that people have died from Phone Depravation. Ah ha, some of you are saying Fella has gone too far with this one. Don’t blame me for these awful phenomena. I might add that you are going to sing a different tune when this happens to one of your Loved Ones!

You Dear Readers who are thinking I made all of this Foolishness up I ask you scan the thingie below and see What CBS Reports on all of this Silliness…
