Technology Jump

Yesterday, I made the jump into the Iphone world. I've had some issues with phones over the past year. I had a Droid that I LOVED, but the battery corroded. The replacement phone had a microphone that didn't work. (I wondered why nobody could hear me when I was yelling into my cell phone at them.) When I brought that phone in, they didn't have one to replace it with. They told me I could wait a week to get one identical to that or get an old school slide phone. Between my job and being a single mom, I knew there was no way I could go a week without a phone, so old school slide phone it was! A few months ago, that phone started to slowly crap out. It would randomly begin to turn itself on and off and I kept telling myself that if I could just make until June for my upgrade, it would be fine. Yesterday, I went to see what they could offer me. I asked what the cheapest option was and it was an Iphone for free. Begrudgingly, I am now part of the world of complete touch screen phones. I don't like it. I have a master's degree and my Iphone makes me feel stupid. Since the kiddo is with the grandparents for the rest of the week, I'm playing with an Iphone all weekend. Let's see if my opinion changes by then.


So I have an Iphone 4, but this still applies.
