I don't understand all of that anymore. Maybe I am simply too old at this point, to get infected by the cell phone hype. That's quite possible.
The German word for cell phone is "Handy". Americans always get a kick out of that when I tell them. I guess the Germans thought of a "handy" phone, since they are so small. The cell-phones, not the Germans.
"The United States are the world leaders if it comes to ideas or inventions nobody on earth really would ever need. And the Germans are the first people who have to copy all that crap". That's what I used to tell everybody. And I was right. Plus, I was in the position to make such gutsy statements, since I have a German and an American passport.
Anyway, I wanted to talk a bit about those new super cell phones. I'm always fascinated watching others using their two thumbs on that mini keyboard, texting like demons. And me on the other hand, I am lucky if it doesn't take me more than five minutes to answer back to someone with a plain sentence like :"Yes, me too!"
And my two teenage daughters can type down a whole novel in the same amount of time. Especially my youngest one, she does everything with her beloved cell phone. I wonder if she will marry that thing one day.
And I have trouble finding the address information of my contacts I had previously painstakingly entered to my electronic address book. I didn't even realize until one year after I had received my cell phone that it came with an integrated camera. And furthermore, it also plays mp4 files. Not that I would know what an mp4 file even is - I have heard of mp3, though.
I was happy today to read an German article about a very special "Handy". It was a so called "Outdoor Handy". Those phones are designed for people who love to engage in outdoor activities. They are pretty plain, but very solid and robust.
And here's the thing: it even comes with a carabineer hook. So you can hook it up to your rucksack or belt while you are outdoors, trying to climb up the Mount Everest, for example. Because it's important that you always have access to your cell phone!
Because we always need to be prepared at any time. Even up high in 25.000 feet and thing air, we might one to quickly check the balance of our checking account at Bank of America, right?
That's why a Handy comes in "handy", no matter when and where we are.
