SOUND

A few years ago I was afraid to use a cell phone, still hanging on to "old school" land lines. But a friend talked me into sharing a contract with her. She helped me pick out a flip phone, and it wasn't long till I was using my cell phone almost exclusively. But texting? No, I couldn't see the point in little conversations that it would take forever for me to type. You might as well just call, and say what you have to say. Even tho everyone else seemed to be so into their apps and texts and 'smart' phones, I was happy with my "old school'', stupid, flip phone! Recently my contract friend wanted to change phone companies, so I looked into a deal which included unlimited texting as well as the mintues. I got a new phone - a slider with a keyboard, and I was introduced to texting! Now I love the little beepbeepbeep SOUND that tells me I have a new message! And even if I can't get to the message for a while (I'm driving or working or otherwise busy) it's so much easier to retrieve a text than going thru the voice mail prompts. I wonder what my next move into technology will be!
