I guess I must be weird. I don't need a portable music player.
I also don't need a GPS, I can get around Tokyo just fine without. This
might be a benefit of
of living in Gigantic Tokyo, you might live somewhere where you can see
nothing for more than oh,
50 meters or so!
I have a notepad (yes, REAL DEAD TREES! I bet no one remembers those!)
And a pencil,
It allows me more creative freedom than trying to use a phone for that.
But it's only black-and-white
and doesn't work when wet ^^;
Far be it from me to proselytise but I think portable music players and
rubbish like that are
contributing to the downfall of society. No one talks to anyone any
more, they are either
too busy masturbating their phone or in a walk-coma oblivious to their
surroundings.
As a quick experiment, for those that don't commute in a car (or by
bike), look around you
and see how many phone-masturbators or comatose introverts you can see
as a percentage of
those around you.
For me, it would be typically (I don't start commuting until next week)
something like the nearest
20 people, say within 3m or so, 11 would be having phonegasms and 3 or
4 comatose.
Note, most cyclists are in walk-comas too, there IS a god of "people
too stupid to live" and he protects
Japanese cyclists. His name is "The Anti-Darwin". <rant, rave etc about
how stupid Japanese cyclists are.>
> Oh yeah, and I can make a phone call on it too.
Now you're just being ridiculous.
