Internet phones scare me

So I have been saying this for awhile now, and it came up again today during a stupidly hot day at work with a coworker. These internet phones and Iphones and phones that provide similar services are crazy. I think it takes an outsider like me who havs been disconnected from the revolution that has taken place to truly notice how crazy it is. These phones are just WAY too convenient. They do too many things. Even I find myself saying, wow, it does that too?? There are all sorts of applications that do anything from tell you what song the phone can hear in the background to ordering pizza online and have it delivered to your GPS location that phone transmits, and a hell of alot more, not to mention constantly being connected to the internet AT ALL TIMES. Seriously, What the fuck?! They are so handy, but do we REALLY need these things? If i lived in the states, or in a fiirst world country, I would be considered an outsider, or someone living in the dark ages if I didnt have one oif these things. I just dont like the idea of having my coordinates transmitted in cyberspace at all times! Now everyone has one of these phones and they can be tracked by GPS wherever they go! How great! Is there anything these phones can't do? The photos they take are actually pretty legitmate, its a phone, MP3 player, Internet, GPS, you can get directions in real time to anywhere, etc, etc, the list goes on and on. Its only a matter of time the way technology is going that these things are the way of the future, or it apprears they already are. I am more then happy with my spaceage phone that costs $50 and has no color, and simply does text message and phone calls, no camera, no faxing, no music. People are getting too attached to technology, and this is just way too connected for my comfort. I like to be in contact with people to an extent, but this is just rediculous. If you were to lose one of these phones you would be devestated. Just something to think about in a world where people dont question anything anymore, or contemplate where all of this is going. Call me a weirdo or a conspiracy theory freak, but something is seriously wrong with these things. Its just so convenient and so handy that you can't NOT have one, and thats exactly what worries me! Thoughts, comments or argurements anyone?
