Your Cell Phone can now be your Girlfriend??

Larry_OHF · 03-17-2005, 01:56 PM

I was listening to the radio news the other day and heard that a new technology is coming out for cell phone users, to make their cell phones into virtual girlfriends...and boyfriends (will become available at a later date they say...)

They said that it gives you virtual kisses, talks to you, expects you to converse likewise, and you can even by roses and stuff. What's worse...after marriage you may get the surprise of the dreaded mother-in-law visit, calling on you to make sure you are treating her daughter good.

I do not have a link, because I have not seen any other news on it. I don't think is currently in the US...but on its way from another country that already has it going.

What a world we live in, eh?

Anyone remember the old movie Cheri 2000? That is what the world will soon be like.

Technology is really beginning to gain a little bit too much power.

Hmmmm, I wonder if you can get rejected by your phone, nad then you would have to go and buy a new one

Sheesh sounds almost like a Neopet ROTFL. I'm sure the phone companies will love hooking idiots to spend more time on the phone. Not sure how many would actually want a fake girlfriend who lives in their cellphone LOL, but then again, who knows! [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

Ditto. I would have fallen too far to be intelligent enough to do it myself.

Seriously, though, this is pathetic and scary. And sad. Who would want to spend money on a fake girlfriend? People who do it would become demented and twisted, and may even start believing that the "girl" (or "boy") is a real person. If this catches on, it means a grim future for humanity. No, I am not joking.

Probabaly the same people who bought tamagotchi's, octopet's, virtual pets and so on, basically for entertainment.
