God, everyone's on about the iPhone4...what's up, man.
Being a techy person (for work purposes only), I should be one of those who stays up the whole night, drive down to wherever it is that iPhone4 is launching, camp outside the mall just to reserve a space in a long queue of kiasu people. I should have an iPhone or a Blackberry or somefink like that.
But I don't.
WTF. I used to own an iPaq (I think that is what it is called - can't remember) which is a nice a phone but I couldn't wait to get rid of it. Seriously. I couldn't bring myself to ditch the phone because it cost me quite a bit of money so, I resolved to waiting for it to die on me....or at least give me a very good reason to throw it away.
During my kid's sports day, I dropped the phone and it wrecked the mic! HURRAYYYY!!!
I got myself a new phone - an old Nokia phone with absolutely no internet connectivity. The maids here probably have a better phone than me.
So, why all the hate for iPhone4?
It connects me to everyone and everything all the time...so much so that I can't get away when I need to get away. I mean, Skype is there, MSN is there, Internet is there, Twitter is there, Facebook is there, my blog is there....hell, my WORK is all there!
So, if I had an iPhone4, you would know when I visit the toilet, with Foursquare, you would know every single little move I make. You would know what kind of clothes I was wearing because I would twitpic it. I will also be updating my FB status messages like....ALL...THE....TIME.
And besides, it is all hyped up stuff, alright? I find it....superficial. I don't like all the superficial thing. I like things natural, simple, maybe a little bit exciting and all that but....seriously, I don't have to show off my iPhone-anything.
I don't like showing off...period.
But if you would like to show your stuff off, it's OK. Show it to me...but not an iPhone4, please.
