Last week my bestie dropped her phone in to some water. After a lot panicking, drying, sitting it in rice, taking it to the phone shop, it died. Finished. She was due for a new phone anyway, but still has to wait 6 weeks.
Gasp! No way! She had to wait…?
Sooooo, out came the old dinosaur phone. You know, the spare one you’ve kept in the back of the cupboard just in case?
Boy was it a dinosaur and boy are we spoilt these days!
I met her for a coffee and a spot of shopping and I’d forgotten she had the old phone and it rang. She sneakily got it out of her bag and prepared herself for my reaction… “put that away, that is so embarrassing!” We were laughing our heads off! It rang funny, it had a slider thing on it, it had all the individual text buttons and it was u-g-l-y.
No to mention no twitter, no facebook, no internet. Double gasp.
She said “I feel out of touch and I have no idea what anyone is doing!” She loves twitter and facebook too.
I said “Actually, you’re probably heading back in to the ‘real world’ and getting back in to real life with real people.” Then I said “but no way could I do that, nope, that’s not for me.”
She knows I am too far gone. Too far in to the internet world.
My oxygen would be cut if I had no phone for internet. No twitter? No facebook? Arrrrgh!!
So how far gone are you? Obsessed like me? Or could you easily switch off?
