Whooaaaa nelly, that's one good post!

Yeah, they've been absorbed by the phone - or seemingly, absorbed the phone INTO themselves and it then slowly takes over from within, it's PART of them - similar to how people say "we are already cyborgs". Man and machine are ALREADY one, but machine is slowly becoming the majority.

Ultimately, the reason I ditched my cellphone in the first place was my ex calling me every second of every day until I just threw the phone into a wall. 10 years later however, I can see so much more good came from her pushing me to that point.

Man and machine aren't able to become one, that is just the illusion that man makes himself while he is sacreficing himself for nothing. The attempt will not lead to machines becoming more alive like men, but to men becoming more dead like machines.

This is true for the way we're currently going about it, but it's not a law of the universe. There are good ways to do this: How To Become A Centaur by Nicky Case is a good thing to read.

You could have just blocked her

I wondered someone says about his relationship here.
