Week 3: My Thoughts on Technology

I love new advances in technology but some of the changes seem excessive to me. I was watching the roll out of the new iphone and wondering why do we need a phone that does a million different things. I just want a phone that makes calls. It seems you can't even buy a cell phone anymore that doesn't take pictures or connects to the Internet. Like I said, I love technology. Bring on the advancements in home entertainment . GPS, satellite radio and HDTV are my kind of toys. I just want to make a call that doesn't involve playing music, taking a photograph, or checking my email. Don't even get me started on the new chat lingo created by text messaging. I received an email from my niece the other day and I needed a translation dictionary. Oh well, the times they are a changing.

I know what you mean about the cell phones. I'm paying $15 for something on my cellphone (Vcast music?)I'm not even sure what it involves and I don't even know how to use. I really should read about it! I have an mp3 player so what do I need music on my cellphone for?
