i have thought about starting a simple technolgy business for people "out of touch" and who dont want to be in touch

for example my mother needs a cell phone with three buttons, and three only, one to turn on and off the phone, one to check her voicemail, and one that brings up her numbers to call

my parents cant work half the technolgy they have in their house

Judging from his two threads, I'd say flatman is a rant-o-holic. I sense "What's with garbage trucks blocking the entire lane?" and/or "What's with people complaining about garbage trucks? Grow up!" rants incoming.

I think you can love technology and still think people are morons for stumbling around in the street, unable to look up from their cell phone or blackberry. Thinking people wouldn't be such boobs if they could stand to be alone with their thoughts for 10 minutes, instead of obsessively texting and calling everyone they know, doesn't mean I'm stuck in the dark ages.

Since this post is being made from a "useless" iPhone, it seems as if the very technology that you rant against is, ironically, spreading your ideas and facilitating this conversation.

OUCH! - Sorry, I just bumped into a wall...
