It's Alive

I am amazed how involved with my IPhone I got. I really like many computers that I have owned in my life. And I have always enjoyed since I have owned at least one laptop at a time over the last around 10 years how wonderful it is when you travel to have a laptop with you to access your website, to write and to find out whatever you need to know from your hotel room wifi anywhere on earth that you travel to. (unless it is Stovepipe Wells, Death Valley when their wifi was down). That was a strange experience because neither my son or I could get cell reception there, there was no phone in the room and I don't remember being that "Cut Off" from the world if I wasn't backpacking or camping in a really long time (Years). So, I had to sort of laugh at myself because most of my life when I traveled places there wasn't even a phone in the room or camping or backpacking. So, looking back at my life I had to really laugh about it.

So, once again tonight my dead Iphone is sitting on a table in the living room and I finally put it's protective case that I bought for it so it literally could survive falling off a motorcycle at 50 plus miles per hour like my friends did. Somehow I felt better making it look like it used to all encased and protected. I think we are way to involved with our smartphones don't you? And the whole SIRI thing just sort of makes it spooky and like having a constant affair. These smart phones can really climb inside your head can't they? I don't think I want another one. But time will tell. I've decided Smartphones, especially SIRI are an addiction. They are an addiction that the next generation likely will call a necessity. Yes. That is an addiction.
