So here goes...daughter had a ballet dress rehearsal today...wife rushing around getting her dressed and ready to go and she hits me with, "I'm going to take your phone (Galaxy S3)...cuz your's takes better pics and vids than mine (iPhone 4)" I give a casual, "OK" like its no big deal...but I'm cringing inside. Really? Your POS i-crap really ISN'T good enough? Then I realize...I'm stuck without my GS3 for a couple hours now. Holy crap...how did I become so dependent upon this thing...not only for comms, but music, news, internet browsing, integration into everything Google (email/notes/drive/contacts) as well as banking, an extra remote for my smart tv, my home security system control panel; and the best part...all customized to my liking with root, the Xposed Framework, GEL, and other mods for look and function....now GONE...out of my hands for a few hours.
So yeah, I'm disturbed about this...and I'm disturbed by the fact that I'm disturbed about this...can I get a witness? Have we become so dependent on our devices that they "become" extensions of ourselves? Is this a bad thing or just a function of the technology that's available to us?
