I love all technology. I embrace new electronic gadgets with a passion. And I love that I am living in an age where I get to see and experience new technologies constantly. I know new things have been created constantly throughout the ages, it’s how we progress and evolve. But somehow I don’t think I would have been as excited by the agricultural age in the same way I am by the technological age. After all, I couldn’t have put a plough in my pocket and taken it out and about with me.
There is one item though that I have become a little concerned about lately. I have taken to keeping bobby pins in my coat pocket. You never know when a breeze will blow up and they will be required. I’ve noticed though that every time I put my mobile phone in my pocket and get it out there are numerous bobby pins magnetised to it, stuck out at all angles. I know they’re just bobby pins. It’s not like a giant lump of metal being drawn to the phone. It’s not pulling me off course as I get about or anything. And it hasn’t pinned me to the side of a car as I walk past. But, surely that’s not great up against my head.
So until proven otherwise I have decided that my phone and I will now have a relationship at arms length. I know it feels like a break up but it’s me, not you. You are much better sitting in my pocket, removed for email and sms’ing. My brain thanks you for your understanding.
