I Am ECSTATIC my Car Insurance Co Tried to Raise My Rates
 
Thanks Dien/Gordon,

I should THANK My Car Insurance Company!

I - Discovered Car Insurance Company was Tracking my driving with my phone.
Speed, Time of day, Drive in Inner City Your Bill DOUBLES and TRIPLES.

II - Discovered Cell Tower 3 Miles away. Installed all Tech needed to switch from
Wires to Air info delivery. Had to RIP it out. Return it. (Too slow. Couldn't adjust the sound either.)

NO LONGER
MAD they charged me a 20.00 Restocking Fee on the blasted iphone.

III - Even with a LAND LINE the Republicans and Democrats are phoning me 10 times a day.

BUT WOW.

FIRST I saw where Israel BLEW up a Terrorist General
with a rocket - by tracking his cell phone signal location in a high rise building.
They blew a corner off the building.

Next I spotted where Israel Gave away many thousands of Walkie-Talkies
Then blew them up to kill and wound thousands of Palestinians.

A couple days later I discovered they Exploded Cell Phones
they sold to Palestinians.

(EDITORS NOTE - The 1000's of rockets shot into Israel
seem to have Changed THE RULES. Anything goes.)

AND
SHOULD
MAKE
American THINK about what Tech to carry in Your Pocket.

Makes You THINK TWICE about what New Tech To Buy - Period.

I am Really Glad I paid that 20.00 Restocking fee.

Returned my cell phone.

Thanks,
Glenn

P.S. - Then there is The INTERRUPTION FACTOR of which cell phones are
a big part of.

(Editors Note - Heh heh heh - I ended that sentence with a preposition. My English teacher is rolling in her grave.)

Mary Shelly Wrote "Frankenstein"
After a dinner party.

Huge Storm.
Fireplaces for heat.
No electricity.

Roads impassible. Nobody could leave or Travel.

So for something to do the host suggested his Guests
GO back to their rooms.

Light a candle.

And Write a short story.

To be Judged at breakfast.

And Mary Won. She wrote a CLASSIC.

Couldn't happen today. She would be checking her messages all night.

I don't think we know all the consequences yet...
 
Hi Glenn,

Wow... eye-opening post!

I don't think people realize the full consequences of the Israeli action... first, mass exploding pagers, then mass exploding walkie-talkies...

What could explode next?

Does it have to be limited to these carry-on electronics?

Could planes ban all carry-on phones, pagers, walkie-talkies, and the like?

Many know that people can be tracked through their cell-phones...

It's a new world when they can now use it to also blow your head off...

I think we don't know all the consequences of this yet...

ĦAy, caramba! (as they say in Spanish!)

"We don't know the repercussions..."
 
I think this raises a lot of questions... These attacks go right to the electronics supply chain...

Some questions some people are wondering are...

"Do we need to stop buying new electronics, and keep using our 'vintage' phones, laptops, and computers to make sure we're safe?"

"Will this hurt the economy?"

"Are we going to have to go back to the dark ages to make sure we're safe?"

"How can I live without my smartphone, cellphone, Fitbit, Apple watch, or other carry-around electronics?"

I came across an interview with the former head of the CIA, Leon Panetta...

Not mincing words, he said about the Israeli action...

"I don’t think there’s any question that it’s a form of terrorism."

"This is going right into the supply chain. And when you have terror going into the supply chain, it makes people ask the question: 'What the hell is next?'"

"This is a tactic that has repercussions. And we really don’t know what those repercussions are going to be."

Hopefully they can keep our supply chains safe!

Or... we might be heading back to the "dark ages"...!

P.S. It was about time for me to buy a new phone, as mine's a few years old... I think I might hold off on that now!
