After a four year relationship I was tired of being let down at critical moments. Tired of my partner shutting down completely and then taking forever to let me back in.
Yep after four long years I decided that it was time to get a new mobile phone.
Now this should be a fairly simple task, right? I mean all I need is a phone that can dial out, receive calls and send the occasional (alright multitudes worth) of text messages. When I told the woman that this morning she basically laughed in my face and said good luck.
Now I have in my employ a fabulous, sleek little black samsung that allows me to download music, games, ringtones, is bluetooth capable (don't think I'll be using this), can do video and take pictures (with several different white balance options -- does the average Joe know what a white balance is?), has the capability for expanded memory, is web capable, will tell me what I'm doing wrong with my life, balance my checkbook, make me dinner, clean my apartment, drive my car, wash my hair, do my laundry, give me the answers to life and oh yeah I can also send and receive phone calls from it too.
Seriously do we really need this sort of technology that supposedly makes us more connected but in the end allows me to stay in touch with people without ever really having to talk to them. Isn't it grand.
