Are Dogs Even Necessary in an iPhone World?
- blueskin_ 12y agoI don't see how a phone can be alert to danger... As for the author spending 5k on their dog... that is why you have this thing called insurance. I'd rather spend a tiny monthly fee in case something goes wrong than money I don't have if it does. Doesn't he have insurance for his overpriced iProducts too?
- collyw 12y ago> diversion from our stresses. Usually I find the shitty interface causes me more stress. Many times I have been tempted to throw it against the wall. Give me a desktop and big screen any day for writing an email, or browsing the web. (And a dog - my parents dog gives me infinitely more fun than my phone ever will).
- DanBC 12y agoI am so pleased to hear someone else sometimes has intensely frustrating experiences with their phone! I used to be the kid who could set a VCR timer (before they introduced +codes). Now? I don't know how to share a link from Google maps; I don't understand how this or that chat / messenging app works; simple things that should be a few clicks are seemingly impossible for me to do. Sadly, these frustrations make their way onto the desktop too. The GMail interface is suboptimal.
