I don't get that..

you are in the middle of the greatest amuzement park on earth...


and you NEED to play with an electronic game or something to keep you from getting bored?

[Mayonnaise]

You know what GP, if someone has a neuro-variance that makes them easily bored, and deals with it by bringing something to occupy themselves, instead of putting the onus on others to keep them from boredom... I don't really see the trouble.

Well... unless you then drop it in the storybook canal... oops.

RIGHT...

cause that is such a common thing.

..or is it that people just get upset that they don't have an electronic babysitter 24/7?

[darph nader]

What did people do 30-40 years ago? There was no electronic-gizmo stuff to keep us 'occupied'. :mad: Shit,we were lucky to have 3 (maybe 4) TV channels.

Can you say "OUCH?"

I would leave that in the hotel room or leave it at home.

To fall into the Storybook canel water can be bad enough.

I have heard horror stories of CM's falling in and getting seriously sick.

Actually it is... these are the same people who used to carry a paperback book everyplace... they've just got a different object to occupy them now.

Is it so hard to think that there are people in this world function differently than you?

Anyone heard about What happened on Sunday, The 8th? Some poor guy dropped his iPad in the water of Storybook Land. He had it out playing on it when it slipped and fell in between the boat and the dock. He tried to dive in and go after it, but the CMs had to restrain him. What idiot decide to bring an iPad on a trip to Disneyland?

I know of an ipod that got run over by a certain type of autonomous guided vehicle and somehow ended up in our lost and found... crushed of course.

Then there was the time where a hat got run over by a Dinosaur ride vehicle and ended up in the lost and found... thought it was just a tread design on the hat at first!

I've noticed that there has been a surge of electronic devices in the park lately. Down in the World of Color viewing area, a lot of kids have their gameboys or playstation portables to keep them occupied while the show starts...which isn't all that bad of an idea.

The adults are more into the iPhone or the iPad. I counted about 10 iPads in the Soak Zone of WoC last night. Hopefully they put them away before the show started. :p:

But then again, I'm addicted to my BlackBerry. I play FourSquare on it all the time, and use FaceBook and the likes. With the way the world is now a days, its hard not to be involved with some sort of electronic device.

For you Trekkers:
As long as it is fully functional :twisted:

what makes you think that that I don't know people function differently?

I deal with people like that all the time. quite a few of them do not like the interaction I provide for them.

I just think it realllllly dumb to take an electronic device to keep you amused when you are at the best AMUSEMENT park in the world.
