It was a big day in this nerd's life this past Friday. Finally, finally the iPhone arrived in Australia and I had the good fortune of picking up the 8gig model. (I got the last one at The Glen without having to queue.)
For me, the iPhone is the last piece in the puzzle. Now I'm a connected and fully operational nerd everywhere I go, from a trip to the supermarket to a trip to the loo.
Yes, I'm one of those people who likes to be technofied all the time.
People have tried to ween me off the gadegts, the theory being that within every computer geek is a hippy trying to get out. Such attempts always backfire.
The funny thing is I was fine with the digital deprivation . It was the intervening friends and family that couldn't handle the truth.
They just couldn't cope with the reality that without my widgits and doodads I was just a redhead with a penchant for decaffinated cola beverages. No hippy emerged. No appreciation for soy products developed. All there was was a bloke with eerily cold data starved eyes staring back at you. Many were driven to madness.
So yes, I got an iPhone and I highly recommend you do too. And if your associates tell you to wake up and smell the roses tell them to wake up and smell the wifi, then capture their indignation on your lovely new iPhone camera.
