During class on Tuesday night, I was looking around the room and noticed something pretty interesting. Out of everyone in class, I seemed to be the only one without a smart phone. The class all seemed to have the 4 or 4s iPhone while I sat there with my less than impressive Verizon Cosmo touch. With all the current hype about the iPhone 5, I started to ask myself is it time to cave in and buy one?
As of a few months ago, my cell phone plan expired so I can technically get an upgrade for a new phone. I have been debating if I should break down and enter the smart phone world since then. The moment our plan was up, my sister was at Verizon getting the 4S. So my delay is not a matter of timing and contracts. I know most of you are thinking, "Smart phones are the greatest things ever" or "why the heck don't you have one yet". I guess I don't know what I'm missing. Currently I am very happy with my fully functioning phone. It never has given me problems or headaches. So why should I trade it in for something else? I know I seem very attached to my little phone but why fix something that isn't broken?
With all the commercials and ads about the awesome things the IPhone 5 can do, I'm starting to doubt my little phone. It can't check Facebook or my email. It's only real functions are to call, to text, and to use as an alarm. So is it time for me to get the new technology? This technology will connect me to people at all hours of the day. Do I really want this? So many questions to answer. All I know is that each day I see the commercials, I feel as though I am getting closer to buying it.

I think its a question of how much you want technology in your life. While I love the access my IPhone allows me by checking emails, stocks, and keeping my schedule up to date, I also feel a need and pull from my phone. I am constantly using it to do business or answer at everyones beckon call (mostly through emails and twitter). I can't say I don't love my phone, because I do. It gives me access to the things I find important in life. But I will warn you its a step in a new direction of technology. And if you join our IPhone world .. I'll recommend you all the best apps!
ReplyDeleteDon't feel bad, I don't have a smart phone either! I am in the same boat though, over the whole going back and forth whether or not to cave to the iPone craze. I must say though, I am starting to sway toward the iPhone! It just seems like it has a lot to offer and I already use my iPod a lot, and the only thing that hinders me from using it more it is the fact that I need to have Wifi in order to do a lot on it. Good luck in your decision :)
