selenayI have been holding out against getting a smartphone for so long. Years. Probably more years than are sensible. Mostly due to Canada's riduclously expensive plans, but it also became a matter of stubbornness, too. Everyone told me to get one, so I refused.
But I've done it. I have an iPhone (SE, 64GB) and a data plan and now I'm capable of this modern communication lark. No more being out of communication every time I'm away from a wifi hotspot. No more plans that can't change because I was out of the house and nobody could contact me.
No more being unable to find people when I get to a thing because it takes me longer to make my very old stupid phone send a text than it does to search the entire place top to bottom.
I actually have more data than I planned, because they had a deal on that doubled the data I was getting. So I have 2GB instead of 1GB. That's pretty cool, right? And my iPhone is incredibly fast compared to my three year-old iPod Touch. With a fancier camera. It's all very exciting.
I've even set up Whatsapp, so I'm down with this modern communication thingymajigy.
If anyone wants my number for Whatsapping purposes, PM me and I'll send it over.
Look at me, being all modern. It's almost like I'm a techy person!
(I feel like I'm the last IT professional in the world to reach this place. Please tell me I'm not?)
