1. Oh! That is nice… really well-written.

   • I won’t mention names… but there are certain companies….

     • Of course there are. They are no less than the devils of our modern lives.

2. Never thought about evil that way, Björn. A miasma of sad events tunneled directly into our lives through smart phones. :(( Certainly gives me pause.

   As always, well written.

3. What a unique take on the prompt! Bravo!

4. This was a wonderful take on the prompt, wish I had thought of that!

5. I must admit that I still have a Dumb Phone. I’m afraid my Smart Phone would outsmart me! 😉

6. Look Dude! That was speaking to the photo that you included. Gotta say when I saw the title I went “huh, Bjorn?” Ha! I should have known better. You said much in those few words of yours. AND! They were well worth reading. 😉

7. Oh yes, I’m feeling this one haha

8. So true. I try to limit my usage of it, but find myself playing games (obsessively) during my spare time. (When I could be writing.) Grrr.

9. Once again, you’ve hit the nail on the head….not one I’d thought of, perhaps because it’s close to home.

10. I love my smartphone
    send myself pics of my lunch
    even when my old mum died
    not so deeply shattered like
    when I dropped my smart phone

    • Ah we should do this like a collaborative poem… perfect (and sad)

      • I love it when I’m inspired by a poem. Yours is great and went right to the truth. I once watched a young man fold and howl like he’d been shot in the belly when he dropped his smart phone.

        I don’t have one yet. May be later. 😉

11. Many to have a passionate relationship with their smart phones.

12. Ah clever as all get out Bjorn! Nice! 😀

13. I used to walk down school hallways and look at teachers during their plan period absorbed in their PC’s screen. I know they were working but it still looked eerie. Much like the smartphone obsession which I am guilty of. I waste so much time reading my facebook newsfeed. It is such a eclectic mix of stuff. A novel would be a much better use of my time.

14. I was just in a beautiful foreign country filled with rich history, amazing food, exceptional wine and gorgeous people. And yet, people I was with and people all around me (some I imagined were on their honeymoon) were absorbed in the impersonal world of their smart phones. This is very current (and strikes a nerve for me). Well done…as always!

15. brilliant!

16. I could have spent my evening, curled up on the couch with my lovely wife but, instead, I spent the evening curled up on the couch with my iPad, reading the good work of my fellow writers from around the world. That can’t be so bad, can it? But then again, my wife is calling to me but, there are still posts I haven’t read…….what to do? What to do? What to do? 🙂

17. I keep telling myself that it’s just because we are the trial generation–that this is all new and we’re not sure how to find the happy balance, but I’m not sure that’s true at all. I took this just as much about the production of these phones as about the use of them. Problems on either end. Thanks for linking up.

18. A unique take on the prompt Björn and so very well written, as usual.

19. I try very hard on Saturdays and Sundays to not touch my phone unless I absolutely have to, I don’t read, I don’t write, I spend those days just being…

    it’s hard to not love our smartphones since our whole lives are in there. aren’t they?

    this was as devilish as the song and so well written too.

20. Gulp. This is a little too real for me. If loving my precious (as I call her) is wrong, I don’t wanna be right!
