There is no such thing as a “smartphone”.
They do’nt exist. If anything, there is a touch screen piece of junk that makes you even more stupid than before.
Touch screen? what the heck? why are suddenly amazed by a touch screen? back in 1997 I worked in a gas station that had touch screen cash registers, they used a form of the wayne system cash register. After a full day’s shift of working those registers, my fingertips would hurt from pounding the screen to make it work. All touch screens eventually become misscalibrated.
The most frustrating part of a touch screen is hitting the delete button 100 times out of frustration, and instead of it deleting, it types the letter “L”. So now you not only have the thing you wanted deleted, you now have 100 letter “L”s on your screen.
Your text messages to your friends you eventually give up at trying to fix them, so now your friends get these indecipherable messages.
God forbid you have a bandage on your hand. You may as well be dead to the world because the touch screen will never function with that. Been there.
The auto correct may as well be Opie from family guy.
This is old tech and is useless. Why are we migrating to a fail of a project? It’s almost as bad as paying $2000 extra dollars for a television just because it has 3d, and only 2 pair of glasses. Because you know extra glasses will cost a fortune. On top of that, all of the 3d shows, and it’s typical high-def, will be lower def than regular, because well…. two different technologies.
Now. To Quote a saying from Rita Mae Brown’s novel Sudden Death
“Insanity is doing the same thing, over and over again, but expecting different results. ”
and no that was not Einstein nor Benjamin Franklin.
but here we are. Using the same failed technology, and it looks like we are headed into a tech world that is totally dependent on touch screen and built on the whole portability system of the phone, like tablets and the like.
We are pushing cell phones and tablets out that run on cell phone operating systems, with these half hearted web browser displays, yet they play racing games and can do graphic design? Well let’s motivate these manufacturers to create better web browsing for these devices. Why we should not design special sections of our websites for mobile browsers.
Let’s keep the phones as just that…. phones. keep the computers as computers and maybe just a device that is in between, let’s not move everything to touch screen (because it’s easier than carrying around a keyboard everywhere). I hate the fact that we can not calibrate this crap for ourselves.
