Mobile Phone

I decide to try my first text message and decided that I would try Skype because you get to use a big boy keyboard. So I type the message, I thought there was a standard but it seems that when I hit enter it sends the message, so when I look up I have sent 3 messages and very little else. So I try to stop the message but there is no stop, so I shutdown the program. Ha ha, I not so stupid, but I start Skype again and the first thing I notice is it trying to send these messages. Am I tight about the few cents to send these messages no; I’m embarrassed, so I see Skype is trying to send the message but not doing it. OK let’s look up help, ok I should check my credits, no credits, give all my credit card details but there is an extra step. Confirm, who I am, so I fill in the information, 3 attempts, not excepted. I give up but I still need to send this message. I hate mobile phones, so I go and ask my wife for her phone, tell her I want to send a text message, she asked what I had done with her husband. Wife starts the phone off and gets me to where I can now tap keys for my message, what the phone stop showing this screen why, because I the phone owner, for the moment didn’t get the choice to think for a moment before I type. That’s why people type so fast on these toys and can’t drive a car at the say time. All the resources have been transfer to a finger and that explains the brainless behavior, no wonder people die. So I start to type a message and I tap the wrong letter and that get’s annoying, so I think I’m smarter than a toy phone so I get a pencil, no way this won’t work either. I decide to take a breath and type slowly. No you cant type slowly, but then I start to type and the message starts to appear as tapped, then I make a mistake and it removes several letters, I throw the phone and it nearly hits the wife, there’s my husband, welcome back. So like most big business these things are design to make the user fail, Skype makes you pay because you are stupid, you don’t hit enter on a text message and what about the mobile phone a death trap and I should be able to decide how this phone works, if I take my time on a text message that’s my decision Google or does this decrease sales. I was right about these messages that say it’s the end to desktops, are you serous, you program these toys on a big boy machine. It’s like driving a model T to the future and say you’re smarter than everyone else. No Feedback needed, have fingers in ears and humming loudly little boys understand that spe

I hate texting. I am old fashioned, I feel that if there is something you need to say to someone, call them up and talk to them. Mind you, as a bloke I can manage a phone call in about 10 seconds... "Hi ya Steve, see in the pub later?" "Yes Mate" "Bye" Not like my wife who can chat for hours and say nothing.

I probably send two text messages per year - and those are generally replies. Can't be bothered with the things. Emails on the other hand... :-O And I think the "chat and say nothing" bit is not limited to your wife alone - Michelle and her sister do it for hours. The best bit is that they are both talking, but neither is listening? Never mind - UK landlines are free on my package, so it keeps them both out of my hair!

I like sms because it doesn't require someone to stop what they're doing and answer the phone. It's my lower priority phone communications thing. That said, these days I seldom hack one out on my phone, but just use the function on Nokia Suite on my PC. Full keyboard luxury.
