Cellphone Audio Diarrhea needs screen text
Per Google: "As of 2026, there are approximately 386 million mobile phone subscriptions in the U.S.. With an average of eight calls per day, this amounts to roughly 3.1 billion cellular calls made daily in the United States"
When one calls a number, one often has the pleasure of listening to two time-thieves. We are told we can choose Spanish by typing 2 and that the call may be recorded . This duet of time-wasters takes about 10 seconds. I enjoy living in a DEI democracy, but I resent my time being wasted by this automated monolog when there is a simpler, automated response for Spanish speakers and for a cellphone "Miranda rights." First, do the math.

The math also postulates that a certain numbe rof time-impeded people will abuse fellow human being. This abuse is another time loss from the standard cellphone answer procedure.
For the Morality of More Time, companies will project on the screen the simple message:
| 1 | 2 | 3 |
| 4 | 5 | 6 |
| 7 | 8 | 9 |
| # | 0 | * |
This simple solution allows additional instructions to be provided on screen instead of the "tic-toc-tic-toc" of cellphone audio diarrhea. The following can be a slow scrolling that can be stopped by pressing on the screen.
There are many ways to integrate a simple text file (cellphone_menu.txt) into the system on the client or server side to personalize the screen to save viewers' time and frustration.
On-incoming calls, cellphone companies should include the name of the caller besides the phone number. It takes time to look up an associated number often requiring the purchase of a plan that will tell you the needed information. This is a waste of consumer's time and money.
Eliminating nasty time thieves will give us more free time and less frustation.
| The U.S. 2026 Mid-Term elections will increasingly use the soundbytes of Timism, the Morality of More Time. The numerous time thief solutions will be an ominbus bill. Individuals and cultures thrive or dive based on their overall time-saving problem solving. Given the state of our world, established political parties everywhere are all smoke and mirrors of empty, sweet-sounding saltwater promises. Timism's problem-solving combo of brainbees and lifehours will be increasingly the mantras of the mid-terms. As is traditionally the norm, suffering people will open their ostriche igknowant eyes. Timism is the most coherent, multi-discipline integration of human knowledge to cure our festering existential disease of the political and economic stinking bandaids. |
