\"iPhone\"<\/a>
\nWhat do I like about it?  Keep in mind I have an iPhone 4, or is it a 4s, what ever it is it’s yesterday’s technology.  Why?  It was ‘free’.  Sure it was.  But, it came with the overpriced and terrible phone service, so why pay a few hundred dollars for the latest model to go with the terrible service?  Anyway, there are many things I do like about it.  Could I live without it?  Sure.  But I do like having it now that I do.  <\/p>\n

Browsing Web Sites<\/h3>\n

Well, not so much.  You see my eye isn’t what it used to be, even with bi-focals.  Yeah you can sorta zoom in which I must do, but it’s a bit of a pain.  The Safari browser takes some wrangling to get where you want to go.  So I rarely do this with my phone.  Mostly if I need a map or want to see business hours for a chosen destination.<\/p>\n

Social Sites<\/h3>\n

Facebook, Twitter, flutter, flitter. No draw for me here either.  Let’s face it, the constant-in-touch-knowing-every-little-thing-several-someones-do has worn out it’s welcome.  So why should I partake in such postings when they seem a trifle too narcissistic to me?  Writing this ditty is plenty of that. Not to mention, if anyone is casing the place and I tell them I’m across town… well, that seems like a rather stupid thing to do.<\/p>\n

Email<\/h3>\n

No no no no no. I get too much email to contend with on my laptop computing experience.  I just don’t feel the need or desire to be that available when I’m not hovering over my laptop.<\/p>\n

Info<\/h3>\n

The address book, calendar, reminders, all synced with my Macs, count me in.  That is handy and I use often.<\/p>\n

Music<\/h3>\n

Somewhat.  It has replaced my iPod when I go out walking.  Not because it’s better, but simply because it can and why carry two devices?<\/p>\n

Camera<\/h3>\n

This is fun.  Not for those serious, memory making, artistic shots, but to capture something when I left the ‘real’ camera at home.  The video option is fun too but not used much.<\/p>\n

Texting<\/h3>\n

A funny and relatively new word in the English language.  My clumsy fat fingers are not adapting well to the onscreen keyboard.  The ‘key’ I use the most is delete. I don’t text a lot because I’ve already had enough frustration in my life in general.  When I do it’s with a few very special people who are worth sending my blood pressure to the moon for.  So don’t text me.  PLEASE!  If you do, don’t expect a reply.  Now you know.<\/p>\n

Apps<\/h3>\n

These I like.  More on these later.  Maybe a list with links even.<\/p>\n

Conversing<\/h3>\n

Oh yeah, it is a phone, right? I Still do that the most, which isn’t too often.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
