As every living creature is aware, Apple's iPhone was released in Canada on July 11, 2008. While many questioned Rogers talk and data prices (here), others lamented the poor availability of the device on launch day (there). In any case, thousands of mondo nerds got what they salivated and fornicated over: a device that does just about everything a self-respecting 21st Centurian needs doing ALL THE TIME: Interneting, music listening, video playing, phone talking, photo taking, among other things.
I'm as much of an Apple Knut as the next Canadian urban twenty-something and will certainly upgrade my once cool Razr (ppfh, it doesn't even tell me where I am, let alone allow me to enjoy my illegally garnered media files while I'm on the toilet) when my contract ends in a years time. The question that I think has not been asked and I'm grappling with: Should I aspire to spend more time Interneting, music listening, video playing, phone talking, photo taking, or less? Aren't I (like many fellow Canadians) already doing most or all of these things pretty much all the time as it is? Hasn't my work productivity already found the floor? Or will this device indeed increase my productivity? Do I want to send and receive emails when I'm out running or having coffee? Is it a good thing to peruse shitty blorghs at Nana's house (that is, if she'd get with the program and get wifi already, have you seen the data rates?) while she's going on and on about the good old days? These are questions for all time.
If I managed a Fas Gas, or had one of those new-fangled Internet careers, or trolled more message boards than I already do, then maybe I would need to be separated from a computer by only a thin piece of khaki, or acid wash denim (depending on the occasion). Likely, someday, I will need internet, email, calendar, and midget porn close at hand. Perhaps I should hold off those days as long as possible....particularly in the case of that last one.
Or, is it "cool" and "slick" and "does it all" and who fucking cares about whatever I'm talking about.... it's the iPhone!?
