In an unexpected move, I got a smartphone. And it's about time. My old flip phone was dying and when I looked today at Costco, there was no line. I could walk right up to the kiosk and talk to a real human. A human who answered my questions and did not try to sell me more than I needed. Sold.
The afternoon has been spent getting familiar with the phone - a Samsung Galaxy Stratosphere II - and downloading apps AND setting up email, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, my blog, and all of the other really important things I "need" to do online. I can see that this phone can become an addiction.
Although,as a librarian, I work with computers all day long, live online on my home laptop, and have a Kindle, I had wavered about spending additional money each month for a smartphone. Today, I caved. And so far, it is worth every penny of the extra $30.00 each month. Well, really only $20.00 extra, because the very nice human at the kiosk saw that he could save us $10.00 each month on the data package for our home hot spot! See, this smartphone is already saving us money...
