Tech Smarts

Hi!

So my phone broke. For those that rely on their phones for communication, both social and educational or otherwise, I hope you understand. For those that laugh at the lost puppy look that a person has when they lose their phone or it breaks get ready to laugh yourself some washboard abs.

My phone, the iPhone 4S (my second one because the first one got a broken lock button) (guess what? this phones lock button broke on the day I got it haaa), died on me Monday and it kinda sort of stunk like a skunk. Now I'm no phone addict. I am an Internet addict. There's a difference. The only reason as to why I'm so heartbroken over the loss of my phone is because I've got some really important blackmail selfies of my friends, concert footage, and my ever important Notes app full of my poems and short stories. I of course didn't back up any of this, sans a few photos several months ago, so all of my data is gone. The Best Buy fellas said I might not even be getting my contacts back. This haunts me because without all those useless numbers from sixth grades past and those "social times" at football games freshman year I will have probably a whopping fifteen numbers in my phone. Several of which will be food places.

All jokes aside I was absolutely crushed when I was told that my writing was gone. For me, my words formed into fictional relationships and made up worlds was like a diary. I could go back and read any work and remember how I felt when I wrote it and where I was etc. Yet stupidly I had them all on my phone and didn't transfer them to a hard-drive. But I suppose theres a silver lining, a few friends that I share my pieces with have so graciously sorted through their messages going back a few weeks and have managed to find a few things for me. So I thank them for that.

BUT LET ME JUST INFORM YOU ALL THAT SAVING YOUR GOOD LOVINGS ON A HARD DRIVE OR ON iCLOUD IS THE WAY TO GO DON'T BE A TECH DORK LIKE ME AND MAKE YOURSELF SAD WHEN AN UNRELIABLE PIECE OF TECHNOLOGY FAILS ON YOU BECAUSE IT WILL FAIL JUST TO SPITE YOU AND MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE YOURE A CAVEMAN IN A WORLD OF BILL GATES'.

Despite my previous sadness I'm okay because getting discouraged from doing something you love (writing and taking amazing selfies) is never the way to do it. Plus I get a new phone out of this so maybe just maybe if the phone isn't defective I'll have my first working lock button in almost two years!

Cheers!
