Back in 2003 I got a new cell phone and was really excited because I could view rachelleb.com ON MY PHONE. Holy Jetsons! This was the future! Here’s what it looked like:
Obviously I did not access the web very often from my cell phone. I didn’t even text back then. In the years since then, I’ve upgraded my phone a little, but it was always very much the same. Same button interface, for the most part. But ohhhhhh… the screen was in color. I texted a ton but never accessed the internet.
Fast forward to 2009. I got an iPhone for my birthday. The thing I do with it the least? Make phone calls. I got my first bill and it says I made 127 phone calls, a number I think is highly inflated because I know there were bunch of times I fake called people to see what the photo I assigned to them would look like. By fake call, I mean I hung up so quickly that the call never went through, but it stayed in my logs. Days and days go by without me making or receiving a phone call on my phone. On the otherhand, I had 600+ real incoming and outgoing text messages. And I can’t tell you how much time I’ve spent online or playing games on the iPhone.
Oh, and here’s what rachelleb.com looks like these days on my cell phone:
What a difference.
