The latest iPhone came out. Steve Jobs died, Google announced their latest phone, blackberry breaks. But what is the the price of all this ubiquitous technology.
The smart phone changed my life and without doubt everyone else who owns one as well. Personally for me taking the 2 hour commute to work every morning was a harrowing experience, until I actually got an iPhone – I was never bored. When I was delayed or missed a bus I instinctively reached for my iPhone and suddenly life wasn’t as grim as I had once thought.
But now adays i find it nearly impossible for me to sit and not have my phone within arms reach for me to check the latest news the latest tweet I couldn’t resist checking the screen to find out what some random acquaintance was doing and if they too were also having dinner.
Smartphones have certainly made my life a lot easier but have they made it better? they’ve made the internet akin to a limb – the backlash and anger regarding blackberry just shows how long ago it seems when the internet was chained to a desk in a room in our homes or local libraries. Now its alive and living in our pockets.
