Shifting Perspective

Portable technology, notably a Smartphone, is beginning to look like a great option. Staying inside on such a gorgeous day may cause this writer to shift more than 2 dimes into new technology. I was never excited by cell phones. They are a major annoyance, particularly when people drive and talk! Also, some comedian remarked on people using their cell phones in public. He suggested that the surrounding community inflicted w/ the conversation, lean in. When the cell phone user remarks, ” May I have my privacy,” he advised the innocent public to respond “May I have my public?!”

I got my first cell phone 12 years ago. It was a bag phone. My husband thought I should have one for traveling. I used it 3-4 times tops! After it got converted to a cell phone, I gave it to our daughter. This Christmas she added me to her plan and presented me w/ a cell phone. What goes 'round, comes 'round! I understand the logic, but it feels like a tether; frankly, one that lacks good reception. I prefer the house phone.

BUT a smartphone... might be worth considering! Today the PC was the tether that kept me indoors! Freedom, I want my freedom…to study LIS wherever I want! It's in the constitution isn't it?
