Today, that is simple - just read the list of features on the box. In the near future, it will probably become a standard feature. Then, only the cheapest televisions will not have the camera and microphone built in.

And spanish has a around hundred uses for "balls" (the anatomical ones)... or if you prefer the KSS version (with a couple of expressions less) then you can use "nose" instead.

If you have every seen a even one town where 'Spring Break' happens. And then looked at all them (drunks) then you realize that there are far more examples than could ever be for snow.

You would've thought that was the case in my house this morning, as there was a major cellular outage.
https://www.cnbc.com/2024/02/22/cellular-outages-hit-thousands-in-us-and-att-users-most-affected.html[^]
My initial thought was 'this is awesome!', the drivers around me might actually be looking at the road during this mornings commute. The wife and child were going nuts over the damn cell phones, I don't get it, too old I guess.

 Nice.
My Deadhead self for some reason thinks of Grateful Dead - Hell In A Bucket[^].
Either one though seems fun.

I am not that old but I can relate to that.

Not sure but if was really weird. Speed tests showed decent enough download speed but bombed on the upload. Trying to submit web pages with any amount of data failed every time. I was unable to even log into my ISP. This morning all seems well, things are speedy again, speed tests work both ways, and all is good!

I barely use my $11 a month Tello Mobile cell phone plan. My life would probably be significantly better if cell phones had never been invented. I've seen cell phones do REALLY bad things to several close family members.

100% agree! I don't blame the device...the problem is with those on the other end who feel the need to call/interrupt me on a whim or because they are bored. Sometimes I feel like a jester.

But many, many other people would be impacted negatively by their absence.
This is most evident in 3 world countries where people can still communicate with relatives and engage in other activities which would not have been possible without cell phones.

If that outage hit us up here in New York, I wouldn't have known. Only have a flip-phone that I hardly use.
I call smart-phones, "dumb phones", since their biggest, subsequent usage is making people dumber than they already are. This is what happens when people can't tell the difference between a "tool" and a "crutch"...

When I am in a waiting room or on public transportation, and I am usually always the only one not 'looking' at my phone, I tend to look at people. I get some odd satisfaction when these folks look up for that 1 second every few minutes, and see my smiling face looking at them. The time it takes them to 'look' back at their phone is measured in Planck times, it's kind of funny.

If anyone saw the story here about ChatGPT become less and less lucid and more fanciful ... I wonder if someone has been training it on the collected works of Professor Stanley Unwin.
