This Is What I Care About

“ Your touchscreen devices do, admittedly, look very shiny and minimalist. They look lovely. Really. Well done, you. Pictures look sooo much better on your phone than they do on my quarter-VGA postage stamp of a screen. And that app that you downloaded that makes your Twitter followers into 3D holograms while whistling the national anthem? It’s really clever. I am sure that you are also very successful and have an expensive car.

But listen, right. This is what I care about. Making phone calls. Sending and receiving messages and email. That’s it. And I can do that faster than you. I can also do it with one hand, should I be holding say, an umbrella in the other. ”

Great!! So you don’t need a touch screen smartphone. As for me, I need to keep in touch with my tweeps and FB friends, I need to post pics I take to FB, (you gotta love the instant gratification it gives when someone comments on it minutes after you took it) and I love the awesome games to pass time, and yes, I am able to make calls as well… all with one good looking masterpiece which I love to show off.
