I have a new phone. Some times I like it, but just as I've written that I begin to dislike it. See the thing is, it's a smart-phone. I like the paper and pen approach to life. I like diaries, journals, and real notes. I like the newspaper. I also play the bass. Which sounds like a tangent but it's not. It only has four strings, and I like that minimalistic approach to things, I think my phone should represent that. If I were to pick a representative instrument, it would be a seven string electric guitar with built in kaos pad, and finished in silver. Because it sounds fantastically technological, and you could probably make great things happen, like control Mexico, but for the life of me I don't know where it switches off. Nor do I really want to. It has features that I don't want to use, my journal will gather dust. And on principal I don't like real things gathering dust, will virtual things replace them.
And that is why I will never buy a Rasberry, or an iPhone with rubber things, and apps.
