smartphones

<p>My blackberry so far, is useless. I only use it to text, GPS navigate, buy textbooks and socialize online. Well, I guess since it’s only the beginning, I find no use for it so far. Anyone know a good application to organize, etc?</p>

<p>I would so use my iTouch but my stupid school’s wi-fi is password enable, and I don’t feel like going up and asking those people to type it in everytime. -__-</p>

<br>

<p>^ Elaborate?</p>

<p>It does nothing my laptop cannot do except make or receive calls, which one can do with the ‘dumbphone’. Also, data plans are highway robbery and the service providers are worse than highwaymen.</p>

<p>^ Yes, but not everyone can bring their laptops everywhere. Some of us need access to internet pretty much everywhere we go.</p>

<p>How hard is it to carry a laptop?</p>

<p>^ It depends on where you’re going. I personally don’t like carrying a laptop if I’m not going to somewhere that would require a laptop. </p>

<p>I would think common sense would dictate that.</p>

<p>Aha…so it is not impossible, it is just not liked. Life is full of things one does not like, yet life is not full of money.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Need? Want, sure, but the vast majority of smartphone users don’t need internet everywhere they go, even in today’s society.</p>

<p>^ Did I say that the vast majority needed internet? No, I’m pretty sure I said that “some of us” need internet. “Some” =/= vast majority. And it is true that the vast majority do not need internet. Some do though.</p>

<p>Vanagandr- then you don’t need a smartphone. Simple as that. Some of us do though. Trust me, I make much more money from being able to respond quickly to emails than I spend a month to have the phone.</p>

<p>I find it so amusing that young people use ‘need’ in lieu of ‘want’, or ‘can’t’ in lieu of ‘don’t want to’.</p>

<p>We need money for food, correct? We need food to live? I need to have access to internet to make money for my job. Therefore, I really do need quick access to internet. It is how I get shoots to get money to get food to live. ;)</p>

<p>I suppose I could always go to a soup kitchen. But then I would need money for the bus. Or a bike. I suppose I wouldn’t need money, because I could always walk.</p>

<p>Not necessarily. I have told people ‘I’ll take care of that when I’m back at the computer’ many times without it being an issue. One needs internet, yes, but one does not need internet available everywhere and at all times.</p>

<p>^ I wish I could tell my boss that. </p>

<p>My boss sends out an email. First to respond that they’re available for the shoot gets the shoot. “I’ll be back later” doesn’t work for me. And almost everyone I work with has a smartphone, so we’re all pretty much on a level field for having internet all the time. </p>

<p>As I said, most people don’t need it. If I want to work, I do.</p>

<p>Ah; sounds like yours is a somewhat-unusual case.</p>

<p>^ As I said. SOME of us do NEED the internet. </p>

<p>I did not say all of us, a majority, or even many of us did.</p>

<p>I never contradicted that.</p>

<p>That was partly to you, partly to Pathetique.</p>
