My big GRIPE: the iPhone


What happened to manners?

Ask Miss Manners. she gives a lot of leeway in today’s modern society. Businesses could use Miss Manners’ hints.
Are we under so much pressure that we can’t pause to give an appreciative word before demanding action.
I’d like to see today’s attitudes take the higher road:
Let's communicate.
Let’s really be here, now.
Sometimes here means looking into the eyes of the speaker.
And sometimes now means responding to their friendly smile.
Now to the iphone.
Wow, it’s amazing!
Made just for me in mind!
Instantaneous, easy,
it’s EVERYTHING!
I’d love to fool with one!
I could get lost in it...just like...
CAUTION!
HARRY POTTER SPOILER ALERT!
CLOSE YOUR EYES!
skip directly to:
*****
Like Harry Potter stuck in Voldemort's mind.
*****
But come on!
Totally isolated self involvement.
Communication withoutwords.
Enough information to never need a live person again.
All for: 600$ plus more $$$ for connection!!
Please tell me it’s not:
The ultimate
Here and Now!
Keep it simple, and remember:
We're just primates in fancy clothes with flashy tools.
