You see, I needed a new cellphone. My old flip phone broke, and in order to get a new one, I needed to stick with Verizon, a company I hate. Note: There is no cellphone company I don't hate. Just to be clear.
And, as I approached the phone sales kiosk, I had in my pocket a coupon for $130 off of an LG Ally.
(By the way, to get that picture here, I needed to photograph it with my regular digital camera, download it to my computer, and upload it to this post. The phone has a great camera on it. Its only limitation is that it can't take a picture of itself. With all the advances in technology, no one has ever been able to invent a camera that can take a picture of itself. Probably because there's not a big demand for it.)
So I bought it. With the coupon, it was free. It's the internet service that costs $30 a month. On top of the phone service.
In addition, this phone has the ability to find out where I am at all times.
This phone has done a lot for me. I can pick up NPR on the phone and listen live. I can type in any song title and hear it in seconds. I can get addicted to Sudoku--wait, that's not a good thing.
Seriously. Do not get involved with Sudoku. You'll never be able to stop.
But I am now officially watched by Big Brother. Willingly. God help me.
Edit: Oh. Have you seen those new Droid commercials? The ones that feature a human eye frantically trying to follow dozens of images, before finally becoming a robotic eye?
How far off can it be?
