To my dear friend with a Smart Phone

Well, if you thought that having a smart phone, made you look smart. Well, here's news for you, it makes you look like a restless rat which when put in a glass box is so lost, it would keep fidgeting from one end of the box to the other, not knowing what to do, instead of taking the opportunity of looking out and noticing that there is a gate which can be pushed open.


Then of course, not that it makes you look stupid, in the exterior......... ALONE
Well, you see, you were an interesting man, at some point in life.
But now, your attention span is as small as the time between updates, in your twitter, facebook, gmail, four square and maybe some stupid game thingy you are playing. With more than 800 friends in facebook and twitter, you do the math, how small that is!

Of course, you can feel happy at the smart discussion you have in your wall or twitter feed. Oh, did I say smart, you stupid, insensitive dud? Its not just me, who thinks you will eventually turn into a dud, by the way.

Yes, because, complex analysis possibly requires more focus time than what your brain is used to, now. Of course, analysis, that does not fall into frameworks that Mckinsey, BCG, B&C and your business education taught you, is beyond your capacity anyways, in this rate. My condolences.

I pity your stupid wife, if you do ever get married. Of course, she is stupid, to marry you like this. Or maybe she is not. She knows you would get her a smart phone as a present, so that she can make the appointment for her fulfilling extra marital affair, while you are busy fidgeting with your gadget. The techie in you was so scared of your wife getting into an affair right. Well, you have the recipe with you, but thank god, its smart, sleek and slim (oh, so sorry your wife is obese now and you did not notice)

Aah!! Irritating, is not the word!

I can identify myself very well with this post. I've become one of those stupid, restless, absent-minded and decaying 'smart-phone' addict [must say www addict] ever since virtual world was opened up for me.

Any way out BD>? ;)

You must have guessed that I wrote this post out of frustration, when I went out for lunch with a owner of a smart phone friend. But atleast, you are nice enough to admit your folly. This friend says, " We are techies. We will look at our phone. Get used to it" blah!!!
