Maps and Phone Books are Obsolete

28
April

Happened to glance at the bookcase in the spare bedroom and see all the books that I own but never seem to read after the first time. why did I buy all these books? I should have used the library!

There are a stack of phone books on the bottom shelf. I might as well throw those away. Who uses phone books for anything anymore? Not me! I can find it online faster and easier without having to heft a big cumbersome book and search through thousands of pages and other listings.

Maps are also pretty much obsolete. If you don’t have a GPS for your car, you probably have a mapping and location program or app on your smart phone. Who needs maps anymore? They are obsolete, too.

An App for That

Commercials are always talking about all these “apps” that you can get. I know they are mostly for the new expensive smart phones, which I don’t have. But some of these apps look pretty cool. I’d be interested in upgrading my phone if anyone from the phone company would bother to give me a call and make me an offer on that. But it seems the phone company doesn’t care what kind of phone I use or what I pay for my cell phone service each month. They made their initial sale and put my ass on ignore.

Fix My Phone!

Broke my cell phone last night. I don’t know what I did, but it says it is locked and it wants a password or PIN code or something. That just kicks my butt, because I have never put a password on this phone that I know of. I know the bill was paid on time, so its no reason for the phone company to do this to me as a way to collect money. I guess I have to take it into the cell phone store and someone there help me figure this out.
