IPHONES, TECHNOLOGY AND MORE…


Who has one?
 who wants one?  Who would never ever by into the world of an IPhone? haha!

I always, on the surface white lied and said I didn’t care to much about the kind of phone I had, but secretly was jealous of those with these top of the range phones.

I recall not too long before I did indeed end up with an IPhone in hand and for the most part loving it to, I needed a new phone out with Mr M and one cranky MissK I felt pressured to make a prompt decision so we could make a speedy exit with this screaming child getting louder by the minute…

Thank god for the internet and the fact that I had done a little research and it was down to a couple of choices and would depend on what was in stock. I can’t recall the exact mobile now but it had a QWERTY keyboard, I hadn’t own a phone yet, with one even though they had been around for quite a while lol.

In an instance I became slightly more addicted to texting because it was so much easier ;) Where Mr M would nearly throw it at wall cursing its tiny-arse keys, I loved that (has very tiny hands lol/skinny and long).

I had fun this phone for only a short while before the IPhone would come into my life, and I would love it and hate it and still do.

Many a time I upgraded via my sister upgrading and I would get old phone/buy it off her etc., she had the Iphone3 and what do you know a phone call one day asking me if I wanted her IPhone.

** Little note to add in here **

Mr M hates technology, and feels he is cursed, he has had mobile phones mysteriously disappear on him twice (no he wasn’t intoxicated at the time, lol) Mp3 are the worst, oh dear they die, he got an IPod from a friend who mentioned it is un-used but an old model he brought it home for me to get started on the computer but it would not do a thing…Another disappeared into thin air. He is a bit of man who couldn’t care when it comes to mobile phones I quote “I don’t care about the camera or the list of app’s you can get, I want to receive and makes calls & text, that’s it”!



I one the other hand am a lover of technology. Now in saying that I am not a fashion trend whore (as I call it, sorry lol)

Technology fascinates me doesn’t mean I understand it all! Confronted all the time with technological walls rising up in front of me and I cannot bash my way through figure it out for the life of me, I have from day one of my blessed/much hated IPhone admitted freely “I can understand why people are saying they need lesson on how to use an IPhone I do too”!!!...

As a mother to a 2 ½ yr. old, a partner and a housewife, I simply didn’t have the time for it to seem so complicated and yes I do laugh out loud at that now ;)

I look back thinking it really isn’t that confusing –

Reasons being

-         I am lazy about reading manuals, oh dear and so attempted to battle the phone without any help when that was the complete opposite to what I should have done.



-         The phone I went from to the IPhone, YES two whole different worlds completely and I had only just gotten used to that one and it all’s cracks and corners.



-         Never having owned and IPOD, so hadn’t used the  iTunes program I also had that learning curve



-         Lastly OK, yes I was being a drama queen, as much as I was so so so IN LOVE ;) the confusion took over for a few moments there.  But it didn’t take long I had handle on it all ;) and now I’m addicted, converted and very much so probably in need of IPhone AA LOL.



Bam what do you know, as I had started out this blog’s journey the flood of Facebook gossip, debating and more, on the new IPhone 4s. For me honestly I’m not interested I am happy enough with mine and the capability to be able to update/upgrade it :D
 

:(Sadly my last note and I truly wish I didn’t have to write such sad news, today before coming to finish off this blog and get it up I was confronted with the news of Mr Apple himself, Mr Steve Jobs, passing L L I have a massive amount of respect for him for everything he gave this world of ours and the dreams he has given others a chance to dream through technologies eyes. For that he suffered illness I do visit upon the thought as I did have with my mother, sometimes it is nice that someone isn’t suffering anymore.
