I scoffed at smart phones since they came out. I often admonished my children who’s data plans went up to $90 a month some months. They’re young adults, 24 and 23 right now, so what?
I broke down and got one 6 months ago. They quickly become a useful part of your life. Email, voice chat, google, music, visual voice mail, camera, translator. It gets scary very quickly as you’ll find you’ll start cerfing the web whenever you’re tied up in line, at a Dr. Office, talking to a boring relative.
Very quickly it turns to a security blanket of sorts. You’ll feel naked and vulnerable without it.
The problem is, kiss your personal information and security goodbye. There is no getting around it, you get a verizon smart phone and they’re going to hook themselves completely into your life, much like google does
Many people scoff at the idea that somebody is going to make them ‘bear the mark of the beast’, Now I’m thinking the old bible passage meant ‘carry’ the mark of the beast — as in carry a smartphone around.
