Apple released the iPhone 3G S today. People waited in line since yesterday to get their hands on the latest technology which can now stream video right to your hand held. I still can't figure out all the hub bub about this device. Do we really need to be connected to the internet all the time... Do we really need an app that will calculate the tip at a restaurant. Seriously, I think it's time to take that one technology step back and remember that we have families to be with and spend more time worrying about, than what new application is available.
The iPhone, the Blackberry, the Palm, and all the rest are becoming the adult version of hand held video games... and I think they are making us lose touch with our community connection. We live in a technology exposion time right now, can you remember back 20 years... the CD player was the coolest thing on the block. Now, we see people walking down the street looking like they came from the technology wild, wild, west, with a belt clip full of gadgets to satisfy our needs to access whatever information we need the moment we demand it.
I like walking down the street with my son in tote, making sure that we don't step on a crack, you never know, you might just break your mothers back!
