About a week ago, I bought an iPhone. I scoffed and shook my head for a very long time, saying I didn’t need a smartphone, but ultimately caved to seeing everyone else and their dogs having one. So far, I’m not at all regretting the purchase. I already had an iPod Touch, but the always on connection through 3G / Edge makes a vast difference. Of course, the difference leads to me checking Facebook and email more often, but at least I’m not drawn to browsing for hours on end with my phone.
You see, I suffer greatly from browsitis, which is when you sit down at the computer to do one thing, and then look up three hours later, wondering where the time went while you were reading about Russian skyscrapers or looking at funny pictures of cats. I look things up on my phone, but I don’t really browse for long periods of time.
Related to buying the iPhone, something popped into my mind the other day. It’s highly irreverent, but a friend of mine said I should share it: I wonder if, whenever Steve Jobs dies, his tombstone will simply read “iDead”? Sorry, I know, that’s pretty awful.
Haha, no shit, I suffer from the same desease. I waste HOURS on absolutely nothing, but I now I’m more knowledgeable in crap than anyone else!
