Louis C.K. on kids and smartphones (spoiler: it's brilliant)

[pstall]

nowadays we do everything BUT talk on our phones. the very reason for the phone's existence is hardly ever used.

 

in many ways society is too reliant on tech and that's troublesome to me.

Ever hear his explanation on how the N-word was first used?

I love his rant about people who complain about technology, like finding out there is wifi onboard a plane, and then complaining when they can't connect to it.  Don't complain about something you didn't even know existed five minutes ago! lol

I think that bit is also from Hilarious, not sure, but I've heard him talk about it numerous times. One in particular on an HBO special with Chris Rock. The guy is a genius.

his new special and especially the "but maybe" is amazing. he just keeps that level of comedy up every time. he's the poo.

It was fantastic. He won an Emmy for best writing on it a couple days ago.

All he is is real though. And it's so fuging funny!

[cookinbrak]

pootie tang is a classic

 

Lots of people don't realize that he wrote and directed it. Since Chris Rock plays 19 characters, they assume he did it.

My wife went to get her new phone at 8:00 am sharp.

One of the workers mentioned that several people were there when he showed up at 5:45 a.m.

Just got my girlfriend and her daughter new iPhones (5 for Mom, 4s for the girl).

 

Daughter just started working, so it makes us both feel a lot better that she can call if needed.

The main point about human empathy and being are absolutely correct!  It's something I wish we'd all do something about, but it's very difficult to do so.  Cell phones are such a habit.  I love the convenience of mine, and I have no intention of going back to a dumb phone.  I've also been making a concerted effort to leave it alone.  I will say I do love to sit and think.  My wife hates it, but I love being able to just stare out of a window for 15 minutes and zone out, let my mind wander.  I get some great ideas there.

 

On another side, I haven't played a game on my phone in like a year...  But I do use it to read book and news.  Oh well, He is correct, and I'm not going to let my son (18 months) fall into that pit!
