When Apps Make You Lazy - WSJ.com


Interesting, pay attention to the Cherry app. Not sure i would trust one of these guys with 5 gallons of water to wash my entire car!

sometime, in the near future, one will be able to go through an entire day with never having to have a face to face conversation with anyone...even with the person sitting next to you.
I can hardly wait.

I saw that art; WSJ has lost it's fookin marbles: the next USA Today, with a touch of 'finance'.

you know its funny you say that, i'm starting to agree. I used to love WSJ, now i'm getting a bit annoyed with it. They used to say, USA today is written on a 6th grade reading level, and WSJ is on a 12th grade.

And isnt it the truth, nobody can communicate face to face anymore. its funny when i meet people who have zero social skills besides using their thumbs

$35 for a car wash/detail... gee, good ol' day - it cost me $2.00 with a tip to detail my X in Nicaragua... I must admit, my regular price was 5,000 colones, which is $10, so couple bucks was a good deal...

There is definitely a market for it... would i pay it? NO.. Would i let one of those guys with dirty rags and limited water supply touch my X5's paint... NO..

but theres the people who go to work everyday, and think their car is "point A to point B" and need a wash!

I've done that work before. Basically, it is higher tech mobile detailing. My boss used steamers and I would never call it detailing; it was a shame to even touch those heavily soiled cars but I was getting paid for it. Glad I don't work for them anymore.
