I just saw an ad for a new phone that instead of that pesky old typing you have to do in order to send a text, is to speak into the phone and (gasp) the phone will type the message out for you… next thing they’ll likely come out with is a phone where you’ll probably be able to talk to the other person in real time…yup…amazing… —Get Yer Heads Out of Yer Asses and Unplug

There’s been an app out for the iPhone for years that allows you to do that. Texts, emails, etc….
Whats the point of talking into a phone so that it’ll write it all down and send it for you? Why not just call the person? Good bitch.
Dragon has been used by people unable to use their hands for years, as well as other software.
Lighten up. Just because *you* don’t need/want to use it doesn’t mean there aren’t others who do.

EXACTLY, wheelie.
My dad, for example, has a slight visual impairment and could never type on a keyboard on a phone.
And sometimes you can’t just call someone because they can’t TALK on the phone, so you need to text them.
Get bent, OB.
ummm… the point would be so that the other person doesn’t have to run on your schedule to get the message you are trying to leave them.
I can store thousands of texts on my phone coming in and letting me know someone sent something I may want to read…. voicemail only gives me 3 at a time for max of 3 days for what, 15 seconds of speech?.
not exactly anywhere near as convenient.
text based is superior(assuming you are literate)… and ESPECIALLY so for accents.
I’m with the wheelman. Dragon dictate is a big help for students with dysgraphia and other learning disorders. Get over yourself, OP. It can level the playing field.
Joey Jeramiah had dysgraphia, xeno!
Ladies- I didn’t mean the disabled.
I meant for when you’re jerkin’ it with both hands and need to catch up on your emails.
Wtf were YOU GIRLS talking about?
🙂
Loves ya’s!

This is a great bitch OB.
IT also why I refuse to read/answer a text. I’ve got a fucking PHONE …TALK TO ME OR LEAVE A VERBAL MESSAGE on the answering device ! ! ! ! ! !.
You wanna write send me an e-mail I’ll get around to it in a day or 2 or 6 !
But if you call me right now I’ll say hello, right now !
I just checked my phone seems there are 6 texts…I hope none of them are important to who ever sent them, they sure aren’t important enough for me to bother opening them .
OP technological stuff like that will be here long after you die. So … whatever.
Cool for the visually impaired. OP, you’ve got the common sense of a gnat.
That was well-said. I know this girl who spends hours texting her boyfriend all day. And they live together (figure that!). Why not just call him? It’s really stupid. I think people that text are obsessive compulsives.
almost as bad as the 2 dumb bitches sitting acrss from each other in s.s., a few years back. fuck me, give your mouth some exercise for awhile, instead of just sucking dick.
I think this is a good bitch because I believe the ad doesn’t aim the technology at anybody that is impaired. It’s more about having a cool application that technophiles can lap up.
Well, holding a phone up to your ear and talking on it is supposed be bad for your brain and potentially cause cancer. I prefer to text, but I think people who like to have long conversations by text, or those people who want to have a long, drawn out, pointless, day-long text convos with you just cuz they’re bored are rather insufferable. It’s better than playing phone tag, and I bloody well despise voice mail, especially when the message is just “hey call me back” fuck. It takes about 5 times as long to check that stupid message as it would have for me to just call you back, which I do when i see a missed call usually, if I feel like it. Not to mention checking voice mail costs money! Get with the times.
