Stop Demeaning My Old, Crummy Phone
13 Dec 2018
My phone gets attacked by ignorant youngsters just because its older than the average phone. I have been using it since the start of June 2015, and its over three and a half years old now. It's starting to fall apart.
It began a long time ago, in Nov/Dec 2015 all the photos in the phone auto-deleted and the SD card disappeared. Then slowly, the wallpaper would revert to the original picture, even after I repeatedly set my preferred profile picture. Then a while back, perhaps a little over 2 (?) years ago, the YouTube application would be unable to play videos on the fast-forward settings. Initially, it would fix itself when I updated the application. But this round, Its been a long time, over a year ago, this problem became un-fixable. And since then I have been able to watch anything in 2x speed. And which has cost me many hours wasted time.
And now my camera no longer works, when I turn on the application the screen is black. And the speakers occasionally fail, like no sound comes out even when volume settings are maxed. And the memory space is fucked up, I can no longer download stuff because it's so filled with useless shit.
It doesn't help that I have some extreme paranoia that my phone is stalking me through the front camera.
And recently, some faux-bourgeois spendthrift dude commented that my phone is useless and ought to be changed because I cannot connect my phone to the Smart TV. Like, hell dude, that'll be the last of my worries. Who the hell deserves to care but me, what my phone can and cannot do? Me and my phone do not deserve to be judged just because it is literally old and lame.
And what kind of shit society do we live in, that our devices that cost hundreds of dollars are expected to be changed every years, lest it becomes "outdated".
And its them who are doing all that shit. And who are they to question, when I profess that Environmentalism is my religion? I am Atheist for the earth.
