Come on, February
Welcome back!
My daughters’ cell phone contracts ran out recently so we took the opportunity to upgrade their phones. After two years of use (or abuse, as the case my be) these poor phones were in sad shape. One of them feels as though the keypad has been cleaned with steel wool and neither of them will hold a charge for more than about 10 minutes.
The new phones make me a little jealous. The girls now have camera phones with a higher resolution than my camera phone and, unlike my phone, they have the option of plugging in a memory stick to save their photos and move them to a computer with a card reader. Pictures on my phone can’t go anywhere unless I want to pay a quarter to send a “picture message” to my email account. I’m not about to do that when the picture quality is so low.
Only 4 months until I can change my phone (I think) . . .

We are rapidly getting to the point where your cell phone is really a general purpose computer most of the time and a cell phone a fraction of the time. Cell phones are now music machines like an I-pod, cameras, game machines, laptop modems, and much more.
I know, and for some reason which I cannot quite define, that bothers me. Something inside me really misses the days when a phone was just a phone.
