IPhone


I just recently got the IPhone. I had held out on getting a
smart phone for years but finally succumbed to the pressure and went to Verizon
a couple Fridays ago and joined the revolution. I was perfectly comfortable
with my old cell phone. It made calls, texts and if I wanted to take a picture
it had that capability too. The features I liked most about it were
speakerphone and the fact that I could take a picture and make it my background
as opposed to the stock photos of trees and waterfalls that they put in all
phones as wallpaper. I enjoyed the fact that when my friends and I disagreed on
some obscure fact or spelling I wasn’t the one who had to look up the answer, I
didn’t have an IPhone. But, alas times called for it and now I cant seem to put
the thing down. It is like a playstation, radio, computer and newspaper all in
one. Oh ya it is a phone too. It has speakerphone, it can take pictures and it
has way more capabilities than my old phone ever imagined. It does take a lot
of getting used to. My old phone I could navigate blindfolded but with this
phone and the touch screen it is hard to pick out or type exactly what you
want. I miss the days of T9Word as opposed to this QWERTY keyboard. It is
amazing that 30 years ago computers filled an entire room, now they fit in our
pockets and the IPhone is way more than just a computer. It makes me wonder
where the next 30 years will take us. What will be the future of computing when
I am 45 or 60, I cannot wait to find out.
