Do Cell Phones Make Us Stupid?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the i-like-the-purty-colors dept.

Noodleroni writes "I came across this article on MSNBC that discusses why it seems cell phone users are so stupid sometimes. A very interesting read." Absolutely no scientific basis in this - 'cept for the DoCoMo study, but it still seems true.

    Slashdot moderators Must use cell phones 24/7. How else to explain how a lame article like this makes it onto slash dot when my insightful and inciteful suggestions go rejected. sigh. what's the trick to getting a submission accepted?

    I don't know why people get all huffy when someone suggests that women might be different from men. There are clear biological differences, adaptations for certain roles. Certain definitions of intelligence clearly favor men.
    I can't believe you seriously espouse this sloppy, bigoted thinking. To think that people are "adapted" for certain roles is similiar to the days when "englightened" thinkers were certain that African-Americans were incapiable of intelligence. Please don't make the mistake of calling yourself intelligent in the future, okay?

    No, You speed and abuse drugs because you are arrogant. You are smarter than everyone else who doesn't do drugs or follow laws. You're a smart man and wouldn't do anything stupid, so you do drugs and speed because you are a smart man/woman who can control it.

    You're nothing like those OTHER people. Drug and Traffic laws were written for those stupid people. But for someone great like you, the laws weren't meant to apply. You just do what you feel like it. Those laws are for simple folk. You know what you're doing is good, especially if you get a kick out of zig-zagging or getting high. That's an even better reason to live in your own world because everyone around you is a puppet and your life is more important than the whole of society.

    Yes. PLENTLY arrogant enough to post what you just did, to say the least.

    P.S. I'm not trying to flame you, just get some help :) Posting here is a cry for help (I think?)
