Fiere Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 And I'm only 22. That ever happen to you guys? I was sitting in the apartment's hot tub the other day, and some other people were there, probably like 18-19 years old, generally. I'm talking to them, and they freaking start using words I don't know, like one of the girls said a guy was a "bro", like an insult...I think...I'm not sure. What the heck's that mean? And I have never Texted someone in my life. Ever. They were talking like they use that more than the phone. Anyone with me on this, or am I just old-fashioned?

Where's this ridiculousness going to end where I can spend 5 seconds talking to you on the phone, 5 seconds talking to you on AIM or 20 minutes typing out a text message on my cellphone...ugh.

Warpnow Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 Yea, kids today -totally- use text messaging more than the phone itself. Most people are so addicted they use a ziploc bag and bring it in the shower with them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorCleric Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 Yeah man, it's the same way for me. All of a sudden things changed, I have a cell phone because it's cheaper than a longdistance plan to call home, but texting? Oh hell no. thumbletunnel syndrome there. Then again, I was never really in the know about any of the pop culture, I am certainly not with in the boundaries of it now. No, Fiere, you are not alone, though I doubt I am much for being good company. Just think though, people like Lunicant, now he must feel old. Atleast he'll be able to aford that sold gold walker when the times comes... oh... what's that Luni? Yeah, up around the corner? I think that might be the time...

elfdude Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 txt messages rock when you don't want to talk to someone and you just want to get a simple message across. I can think of a hundred different instances where I would and have sent a txt instead of calling the person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baby Hippo Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 Honestly im 19. I'm supposedly in this generation but i still can't understand the text messageing!

krounoi Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 OK, you are playing a text game, and you don't GET text messaging? Bah, you old farts. I just hate having to pay for it all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warpnow Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 Its stupid to pay for txt messaging when any web capable phone can login to AIM for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycho Child Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 I know people who can txt as fast as I type, its insane. I get like 20+ txt messages a day and I never respond to them. Kids these days... And I'm 22 too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pali Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 I'll use AIM, I'll play a text-based game, but texting on a phone is too annoying and takes too long for me to ever bother with. And I'm 20. I'm in a freshman dorm, so most of the kids here are 18. Yes, I feel old at times. Yes, it's weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senthar Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 damn, peeps I am 29, and every bit as annoying as the nippers of 18-19, when I had my portable I was texting all the time. playing with the ring tones (I still do it at work on the work mobile). someone said about the text gaming, they are right. when internet came along everyone over a certain age slumped in their arm chair, and said omg, what is the world coming too??? I was happy with the telly. now it is texto's, if your fingers dont go fast enough, phone the person.. Imagine how our grandparents feel. now thats feeling old. They have seen more change in their life than normal run of the mill stuff. I am going to get subwoofers and stuff installed on my wheel chair if I ever get that old..

Psycho Child Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 I'm getting robot legs, they already got the gyroscope working so they have balance. By the time I need it, I will be able to get full power armor. Its already in development for the U.S. Military. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goomf Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 I'll get an age change from 90 to 20 so that I can be immortal. It shouldn't be that difficult. In theory, just reverse the aging process of every portion of the body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeleeCrazy Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 IF you could put your brain in a robot body.....Sealab's awesome But text messaging sucks...if not for the simple fact that i don't feel like struggling over the size of the buttons on my phone for the fact that it usually costs more to text than to talk. Like 5 cents to send or recieve one text message. It adds up, especially with yer allready annoying plan....nights and weekends.....1000 anywhere anytime minutes.....AAAAAH!

Tom Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 Actually, if site-directed gene therapy comes about, there shouldn't be a problem making people immortal. The process of aging as I understand it has to do with the length of the telomere of chromosomes, which is the bottom end of a chromosome. The telomere consists of random bases of DNA, and serves as a buffer, because every time you make a new cell, the chromosomes replicate and the telomeres get a little smaller. It's fine at first, because they're random DNA and you're not losing anything important. But, eventually, it gets so you're losing important stuff, and then things start to break down. So, we find a way to get viruses to fix that, and BAM! A CON-quest for the real world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeleeCrazy Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 NAH The answer to both artificial inteligence and immortality is nano technology. Gene manipulation is for muties..... Welll that's how it works in my head anyway.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrazyC Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 I heard that cells in the body can be reproduced, but not brain cells. They can live at most 120 years. So you can keep on getting a new body but the brain will die after a while... heh, now that would be a real life con-death. That was bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
