Yes, I have been away and as crazy as it may sound, this is due to the death of my first 'BlackBerry Bold'. In the midst of all the fire works, booze and excitement of coming into a New Year, I found out that my scroll button wasn’t working. This resulted in 10 missed calls, 13 texts, 20 emails and 30 bb’s....that I couldn't read, in the first 3 hours of our New Year.... It's fair to say, I wasn’t a happy bunny.
However, it was the next day that I made an interesting discovery which inspired this post.
It dawned on me that as soon as I wake and before I even get out of bed, I check BlackBerry messenger status updates, send out a tweet on Twitter, check my Facebook and see if I have any emails. And so, through out the day, I found myself twitching without the use of my prized 'Crackberry'; as if it was some kind of drug.
My digital world as I knew it was shattered (no news feeds, blog notes or social communication). This also resulted in a very long New Years Day....
My reaction displayed how much of an impact the new breed of mobiles (smart phones) have on our lives. If you go back a few years and think about your first phone (mine was a yellow Baby Ericsson), you realise that as great as my phone was, I was able to leave it alone for hours. Now, I don’t think I could last 20 minutes without my trusted Berry…….
Test your self see how long you can last for.
