As a continuation of my last blog on how I have come a long ways from my first cell phone to the wonderful world of smart phones, I often get into conversations with people as to how we ever got along without these little computers/phones!
Not only can we keep in touch with all our social media sites but also find phone numbers, google for information on about anything, pull up maps, get directions, etc, etc. Our lives are certainly easier since indulging in smart phones. Plus my friends and I can compare phones and see who's is faster at pulling something up.
However there will probably always be someone that stays in the dark ages. My boss keeping his almost 10 yr old flip phone I understand...he doesn't text and rarely even talks on it. My sister on the other hand I don't get. She is a texting fool on her old flip phone but why have to hold and peck to make words when you can swype or have a great touch screen keyboard? Not to mention that when she is with me I am being asked to look things up or pull up directions somewhere. She has a camera on her ole flipper but I am asked when on vacation to take pictures and videos so that I can send them to her...NO I see no need for her to indulge a little and get herself a smartphone...LOL.
I tried to get my sister to play with mine but some people are nervous about moving forward. I know that once she played with one for awhile she would love it. She has played games on my tablet in the past and she has to fire up her laptop to play her online games. With a smartphone she would be able to play anytime! I will continue to show her the way. But then again she may be afraid of getting my addiction. I always seem to need something better and faster! Oh well, you can't blame me for trying. In texting alone I think she would have a blast once taking that leap! Then she too would be asking how did we ever survive before smart phones!
Smart phones are just part of why I am a US Cellular Customer Crew member!
