i love iPhones

i love iPhones.

To me, having an iPhone makes life infinitely more effective and efficient.

Humanity made a giant leap forward with iPhone in the same way as fire, the spear, bows and arrows, shoes, printing press, agriculture, industrialization, trains, cars, planes, radio, TV, and hundreds of other effective and efficient transformations.

Thank you iPhone. And when we say thanks iPhone, we are simultaneously thanking the Internet. Without the Internet, the iPhone is handy, but not transformational.

i love reading what i write

i love reading what i write.

Reading what you write is similar to taking iPhone photos.

By looking at your camera roll, you can easily re-read the image you saw and were compelled to photograph.

Motives and outcomes from looking at (re-reading) your camera roll are (probably) infinite. And yet whatever our motive is, re-reading the photo delivers on our motive.

This is what blogging (modern writing) delivers for me. Daily. Never gets old.
