i dont really give a **** about privacy. my main issue with cell phones is not that they can be tracked. in fact there are many reasons i dont carry a phone.
and here they are, somewhat in order
1: cost. i cant have my phone bill cut into my booze, dope, and hooker fund. also i got to do less important things like eat or pay rent.
2: its trendy. i define my existence by identifying trends and doing the exact opposite.
3: i hate people. cell phones are for social animals, i am anti social and have no need for one.
4: the technology sucks. i dont want to use some closed source piece of hardware that is locked to a cell provider, and i dont want to pay larger sums for unlocked phones that providers do not support. further more you cant really call a phone a phone anymore. its essentially a less than standard risc machine with an internet connection and some voip thrown on top of it. stop mismarketing them.
5: i generally avoid carrying expensive electronics on my person. in case i decide to do something stupid like walk in front of a bus, or get shot at by drug dealers/the police. i cant have my tech getting smashed now can i.
6: i am cazy and do not need a reason.
7: i never did like talking on phones, especially in public.
8: i would rather talk to my invisible friends.
so as you can see i have many valid reasons not to use phones, and i guess the last one is you can be tracked. comes right down to it, you want privacy, you got to not put out so much information. people who care about invading your privacy only pay attention to the big blips, if you have the smallest blip on the scope, you will likely get overlooked.
