Ditching the "Smart Phone" is smarter

My blog shall be generic soon, and thus, it doesn't matter because you're probably the sole reader of this chronicles anyway. I don't care because this is a channel of expression, and yeah. Okay, enough.

While everyone's dying or possibly wasting their life waiting for the new iPhone 5S or C (I will), I am longing to be using the old-fashioned telephone. I know that's a bit too full on, so maybe I will use a semi-smart phone that I used to have a year ago.

I didn't bother to go on Facebook, like every spare time I had. Scroll on instagram, just to see photos of what's what-- but I don't really care. I like Twitter, because it's a random shoutout site, but then, I have Twitter on my old side-slide Nokia.

PROs:

  • I don't waste time on Facebook (especially when getting up in the morning)
  • Not being anti-social on Social networking sites
  • Real communication
  • Old-fashioned, hipsters like that
CONs:

  • No GoogleMaps
  • No random-people-near-me chat apps
  • No good quality camera
  • No tweaking things to make yourself look good (e.g., filters)
  • No iMessage, kik or Viber
  • I will not be able to use 4GB of mobile data
I'm done here, just take me back to 2008. When people texted personally and not a general announcement about what happened to them, reinforced with stupid, smart comments. I'm guilty, but I'm trying to get out of the crime. Rant over.
