I’m Just Sayin’What everybody else is thinkin.’
|
Heretofore, my website
has focused primarily on my migraines VIEWS ON THE NEWS |
I just don't get it.
Sure, I wholeheartedly agree with the efficiency of combining necessary tools.
But, why a CAMERA?
I keep wondering if anyone EVER picked up their Kodak Instamatic,
and thought, "If I could ONLY make a phone call with this thing..."
Seriously, who had that idea?
A telephone and a camera?
Now, I'm the first one to jump on the bandwagon and applaud the Swiss army
knife.
Now, THAT was a heckuva good idea.
A knife, can opener, screw driver, scissors, corkscrew, file, maybe even a fork... that
works.
When they put an eraser on the end of a pencil - again, that's just good thinking.
A few decades ago, someone combined the turntable with the radio, and called it an
"entertainment center."
They even made it look like furniture - now, that was functional.
And again, they took the radio, added a clock, and - what-the-heck, added an alarm,
and the radio alarm clock was born.
Wristwatch with a calendar? Sure!
Television with VCR - went together like a horse and carriage.
But, why, oh why, oh WHY a telephone
that takes pictures???
Couldn't a telephone double as some other useful tool?
What about a cell phone that doubles as a flashlight?
If it were not so politically incorrect as to be almost criminal, a cell phone/cigarette
lighter would be a nice touch.
How about:
Cell phone/jumper cables?
Cell phone/stapler?
Cell phone/bicycle pump?
Cell phone/tire guage?
I think many women would be interested in a cell phone/mirrored compact,
or for safety, a cell phone/mace.
And speaking of safety, what about an inflatable cell phone, that could be used as a
flotation device?
You never know, it could come in handy.
What about a cell phone/ballpoint pen - that way, if you can't reach someone on the phone, you could at least write them a note.
June 2009 - This just in:
I did it - I caved
- joined the century, already in progress...
My newest cell phone not only has a camera, but also camcorder, GPS, and MP3 player...
You knew it was just a matter of time when even this hardhead would give in.
