After 9 long years of T9 predictive text, I relinquish it for a virtual keyboard. Terrible feel, have to keep looking at what you’re doing and well, just doesn’t function like how I’m used to for all this time. The iPhone is just not so fantastic in that department. However its pretty good at a whole lot of additional things. Not to mention having gotten it basically free on the M1 take 3 plan its quite a good deal.
I was more interested in finding myself like how I felt after I picked up my 5D. I picked up something that was old (this is the 8gb 3G) but still wayy more functional and useful than I will ever need. Why get 16 or 32gb? is the 3Gs really faster? will I need a compass? Nike+? So after answering no to all the above, I guess it doesn’t bother me and thats why I think I’m getting older.. or maybe that’s the feeling you get when you buy something that you really just wanna use and don’t care about.
I think, however, I would feel different if i suddenly got myself an iPad or a 1D mk4. I think I might actually feel abit more happiness for a while. I wonder why that is so? And if both of the above cost $2 each, I wonder if i would still be happy or happier or would I not be interested? Is something unattainable or out of reach more desirable and satisfying? haha.. that’s a stupid worldly notion! But yet it has some kind of truth in real life. Perhaps this is why coveting and desiring something is super dangerous be it material, relational or something else.
