Net Mummification


The Net is totally boring. In its full commercialized state, the experience is mind-numbing at best. Shopping, fake news, stupidity ... all pre-packaged and ready for purpose. Then, there’s the void created by useless mobile “apps.” No details are necessary. Using free wireless hotspots lessen the pain of sheer boredom, but paying for data allocation to access the “wasteland is an insult to anyone’s intelligence.

Sadly, there are few intelligent beings around anymore. The “smartphone” has created or converted an entire populace into zombified on-line shoppers. Or, time is wasted on “social media.” There is little in the way of redemption for the former and latter.

The big question: why pay for mobile data allocation to access useless shit? There is no justification. A complete review of the situation pretty much deemed the latter as totally senseless and too costly. There are some risks with using free public wireless hotspots. However, those risks are minimal. So, the time has come to mummify!

Addendum: All useless system, non-system, and third-party “apps” have been removed or disabled on iPhone 7 device. After “test driving” most “apps,” there was little justification to keep them. Worst of all, most “apps” are tracking users to some degree.

Update: While the “jury is still out” concerning the conversion of wireless plans to “pay ‘n go,” the existing account phone number has been changed. The phone number will only be listed with financial accounts. The Google® Voice number will be used for everything else, although it will seldom be checked.
