please don't get your kids addicted to the iphone!
today is car spa day. sending the car for its spa around noon. then i'm lunching with h, and i wanna get home by 4 pm for a phone interview later. i probably need the spa more than my car though.
speaking of the phone.. i seriously suspect that something's wrong with mine. these days the reception sucks, and i can't connect to the 3g network for an extended duration. i didn't think it would be a problem, but when calls keep getting cut off, i feel like slamming it to the ground. i think i've dropped it too many times and something came loose somewhere. but i really don't feel like changing to a new phone now. enough of new things in my life at the moment. i rather stick to something i know well. so, i'll stick to it for the time being. and even if i'm going to change my phone, it's not going to be an iphone.
and i have something to say about the iphone. i really feel uneasy when i see kids get addicted to the iphone. 2 year olds can't speak clearly but they can pronounce iphone well. isn't that disturbing? anyway not all games and apps are created equal, and i think parents should be extra cautious when introducing the iphone/ipad to really young kids. i wonder if the phone deprives kids of other more"social" games, to the extent that they lose certain social skills along the way. even adults are glued to their iphones during gatherings, and i think it's really creating a social problem.
