Last night I had a big fight with my girlfriend and I’m still pretty pissed. So what can a mobile tech blogger do about it – write a post to channel his frustrations. And voila… here it is, outlining 5 reasons why his smartphone is better than his girlfriend.
Now before you go through the end of the (short) list, let me politely ask you to act decently when commenting. 😉
On the other hand, if you think I’ve missed some reason, don’t hesitate to let me know. I love my smartphone and I’m always eager to learn about its “additional” plus sides. Let’s roll, shall we…
1. Smartphone is more entertaining
She’s (kinda) funny and I love the way she laughs, but I can’t slingshot her to pigs (or at least I haven’t tried that yet). Heck, I can choose between a number of games on my smartphone whenever I’m bored or read something cool, funny… whatever. She doesn’t have any apps.
2. Smartphone is always available
Unlock the screen and you’re good to go. Start apps, browse web, check email, chat with your friends, update your social networks… every action is instantly available (presuming you have a working Internet connection) with a tap of the button. Your smartphone is always with you, always available and ready to help you out.
3. Smartphone is more knowledgeable
Want to learn something new? Other people (girlfriend included) can tell you something interesting from time to time and you can (should) learn something from everyone. On the other hand, Wikipedia is always accessible with a single tap on the smartphone, offering great content on pretty much any topic imaginable. And that’s just one app…
4. Smartphone doesn’t bug that often
This one’s tricky. You know PMS and stuff, when “everyone” is too emotional. Smartphones can brick but not as nearly as often. And in most cases, all you have to do is restart the phone and you’re back to normal. Try that out with your girlfriend…
5. Smartphone helps you keep up with your friends
Rather than (from time to time) standing on your way, your smartphone is a tool that helps you keep up with your friends no matter where they are. You can instantly find out what they’re up to, chat or call them. On the other hand, your girlfriend may have an “agenda” that prevents you from hanging out with your buddies…
Now I know girlfriends have their plus sides; this piece comes from a (temporarily) frustrated blogger, remember. I (we) will be cool within an hour or so, and in the meantime don’t be too harsh on me. Please don’t write something like “10 reasons why monkey/pig/rock is better than Dusan.” 😉
