Repost from Work blog. Mobile web is something I am about to become boring on. I really would like to remake Apple’s 1984 commercial in a similar vein with the projectile of choice being mobile handsets.
This is my iPhone There are many like it but this one is mine*. My iPhone is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I master my life. My iphone, without me is useless as it can’t hold a charge too long . Without my iPhone, I am useless and have to ask strangers for directions and risk poor restaurants and ….
I read a lot of speculative fiction , a lot of fantasy and enough horror to know that I don’t need to read anything original on what happens when squishy meets, hard, soft,sharp, fast or a myriad other inventive and leg crossing endings to books. I digress. The point is that in my hand the iPhone , and it’s ilk, provides me with many of the ideas I read about in Clarke, Asimov and a few others in my youth. Yet so many people want to recreate the desktop world to walk around with.
We all can see what’s there , ok creationists can’t , but sifting the invisible from the non existent is a fun task and one which makes me interested enough to stay awake for a while.
*actually it’s my employers.
