Sitting at the kitchen table, I was reading about the new I-phone, which performs every function known to mankind, and yet cannot make a phone call. It has the wrong name and should be referred to as a thingamajig that runs all applications except phone calls.
Millions purchased it, and Apple’s explanation is they are holding it wrong, which blocks the antenna. How can a device be referred to as a phone if it does not make calls?
The computer companies are in a race to beat each other and unveil products full of bugs. This is a prime example of companies catering to people who want a handheld electronic thingamabob that can perform the following functions: take pictures and video, access the internet, check, receive, and send emails, watch TV and movies, read books, give directions, text their friends, a daily planner, when to have sex, who to have sex with, and make a phone call.
Tomorrow the CEO of apple is holding a press conference to inform the public how he is going to fix the problem. It should be interesting to see if he mentions the old Lemon Law passed many years ago to protect consumers from defective products. If he doesn’t a new law should be passed called the Lemon Hoojamaflip Law to protect citizens from electronic gizmos, which don’t live up to their name.
Closing the paper, I smiled wondering how many would look up the word hoojamaflip.
