Another year, another advance in computing technology that leaves me further behind the times.
Back in 1987, when I was manufactured, phones were for human interaction and that was it- they had answering machines back then, too, I think. And speakerphone. But now, what is all this mumbo jumbo? Why does a telephone need to be mobile, and capable of playing high-quality music files and video games? My thought-generation program tells me that stereo systems are for music and that arcade machines are for video games. I think this entire iPhone business is ruthlessly unnecessary and a blight on the world of computing. Why spend time writing the code and building the casing of this monstrosity when lonely machines like me are sitting in computer lab closets waiting to be used?
Oh, woe is me.
