Are You Glued To Your Phone?
Apparently yesterday’s Blackberry blackout had a lot of people up in the air. I did not know about it because my Blackberry is out of the loop these days so to speak. I had to switch it down to the cheapest phone plan when I got laid off. It basically receives calls and makes calls. I can’t even text anyone.
I do admit I missed all the features when I had to give them up. It was however not the end of the world. My question is are we too dependent on our cell phones? This question was raised on a talk show I was watching this morning. The hosts all had different answers ranging from “I still have an old fashion answering machine” to “I have always been an Apple person and can not live without it.”
I remember when the new iphone4s came out. People were lined up before the stores even opened. I would like to have an iphone just as much as the next person. But there is no way I will stand in line to get it.
Yes, I miss my cell phone features but I need to eat too!
Just wait until I get another job. I can feel a new Android in my future.

I’m really sorry about you loosing your job. It seems to be a common occurance right now, every part of the world.
Thanks to our politicians, financial services sectors and bankers!
I can positively tell you something though.
“We are becoming too dependent on our phones.”
Yes I agree that they are very important, but first things first!
I hear many people, who don’t really need a phone for work related usage who say that: “I cannot live without my mobile.”
This shows how twchnology is eventually ruling the majority of us, instead of helping us!
Hopefully you’ll find a better job with a better payout and you can finally live your dream of that “Android.”
Why not add in your dreams a very cool gadget too, like an UltraHD Flip camcorder. That way you can capture crisp, high quality videos of your pleasant moments too and use the Android for other reasons.
To end this comment on a positive note, to a pleasant and better future for both of us, as I was recently laid off too.
Like you, I am dreaming for a better opportunity.
