Adios Móvil!

Forgive my use of Spanish as the title of this blog post (if you don't understand it), but I have Spanish on my mind since I'm studying for a test tomorrow.  I seem to have most of the material down, including the vocabulary, which is good since I know it'll be a large portion of the test, so wish me luck!  I'm writing this post to say that after 3 years of having a Blackberry Bold, it's time to join the modern generation and get a smartphone because my phone is broken; it still works, but I can't text anyone.  Even if it wasn't broken, though, I would probably get a new one anyways since it's just that time.  All my friends have one, and even my parents who are more technologically deficient than I have one.  If that isn't a sign, I don't know what is.

It suppose it will be good to get a new phone, but at the same time, I'll miss my old one.  It was slow, and there were so many things I couldn't do on it, but it did all the basic functions I needed it to, had buttons, never broke, and was uniquely mine.  Not to mention, it survived all my numerous drops on the ground.  I don't know if my new phone will be able to do that but I guess I have no choice, but to welcome it with open arms, or fingers, in the case of smartphones. 

So many smarthphones out there, but which one is the right one for me?

Looking Back At Text Messages

A question I've always had on my mind is if other people are like me when it comes to their phones?  When I ask that, I mean, do they do the same things I do on my phone, which are call people, surf the net, or look back at old text messages?  I know that the first two examples I gave people do frequently, especially the way newer phones are, but I do wonder if they look at old text messages?  I feel like people nowadays are too busy to look back at old text messages, and if they do, it's probably just to check something, not to think or feel happy about something like I do sometimes.  Maybe that's a bad thing since it makes me dwell on the past sometimes, but it helps to remember the conversations you had with someone, which to me is important, since sometimes I think we're too busy to pay attention to people and their actions.  If that's the case, at least we have their words.  People may despise writing or find it tiring at times, but we do it all the time when we text. 

My question out of all of this is, do people put a lot of thought into their texts before they send it to people or do they just not care?  Also, like I asked above, do they ever look back at text messages?  And if so, what reason?
