I want to tell you guys my story, a pretty sad one, that would probably make you all think (real good) and feel guilty (real bad). I was once the most crowded species on earth with population in billions, belonging to a family of great men and women; I am your simple next door, always in your pocket or rather was in your pocket, normal key pad cell phone.
But then something strange happened, with the introduction of iPhones. I still remember that day like it was yesterday, I was sitting next to this huge coffee cup watching the news and this bald dude with glasses was displaying this new, apparently cloned, version of my species. I still remember it like it was yesterday, we were scared to death and the wise old men of our species began to predict the end of our race, ‘a massacre soon to begin’ they said in their shaky voice. You should have seen the coverage this event got in our 24x7 media, with texts like – ‘is it 2012 already?’ ‘What would the few left ones of our species do – comedy??’; And also, there was this viral message of a really funny joke about our species’ religious preacher going to a bar . ., which I don’t think I can discuss considering the serious tone I have determined to bring to this letter.
I am not righting this out of anger, I remind, but of concern, concern for all the species around me. The question to all you humans is – where? Where do you want to go with this entire touch thingy?
Touch phones, touch books, touch flush, touch buttons to your shirt!! Is there a stop to this? Do you really want your children to grow up in a world where the word button is unheard of, do you want them to grow with obese fingers that have not touched anything other than stupid touch screens. What do you think you’ll say to them when they come to you asking, “mama, what is this ‘press button’ grandpa keeps talking about in all his stories?” You think you can explain to them the action press without having a button around??
I hereby call all you people of earth to say no to a flat world, say no to obese fingers, say no to touch and yes to press.
Regards,
Just another ordinary Phone
P.S: sent from my normal phone using a key fuckin pad

hehe. nice one...'righting this out of anger' ??
Jimmy, I think you should be asking that question to your old phone
It's always better to grow kids in a small town. Make them face difficulties. Better to learn life the harder way.
And about iPhone... I don't think every geek has one!
