I give, I give! I will go ahead and get a smart phone when my 2 year cellular phone contract is over. So now in which direction will my life flow after taking this monumental step?
I will have 2G of data each month which I am told is enough and I 'should not' have any overages. (The first charge for overages will result in my slaughtering of that person who said 2G was enough...) I will immediately add the apps 'Guess-a-Sketch' and 'Words with Friends' as I assume I will love them based on my corner-of-the-eye observations of various coworkers and family members. The rest of the apps... I don't know.... but I like services only if I use them often/regularly.... or don't want them at all. The grocery app that reminds you to get certain items after 2 weeks have passed by... maybe it is another to look into.
My husband commented "If that cell phone can do all that... then we don't need TV's anymore nor computers" I know he doesn't mean it literally, but I get his point. If our phones are basically little computers which we carry along with us to the movies, market... and potty....then we have become a society of wire(less) nerds.
It appears that nerds have... undoubtedly... begun to rule the world. The rest of us are just the jug-heads that they will eventually implant mind control microchips into which will compel us to run on human sized hamster wheels in their basements so that the 'nerd elite' no longer require alternative sources of power supply.
So in my 'give' to get a smart phone, I'm signing up to be a 'wheeler' like the rest of you to-be-hamsters.
I hope there is still a spare corner of the cedar pen so that I may pee in privacy...

That whole "slaughtering" thing seems a bit harsh.
