BBism

‘No phone for a month... plz call or msg if extremely important...’

One of my friends puts this as her FB status, and people flood her status with comments asking why.

What actually happened is that her Blackberry gave up on her... reason damaged display. Knowing her since last two years I can declare that it’s quite normal with a girl who either keeps dropping her Apple, cell phone, laptop or at least her car keys or tumbles at least once a day. Now, she must be using her decade-old handset.

Coming back to her status message, even I followed the herd and commented ‘Back to the basics” on it.

Now that was quite impulsive, but later I gave a second thought on it and felt really dumb.

How dependent we have become on technology. Not using BB is not the end of the world. And she won’t even have problems in keeping pace with the world as she has kept herself reachable through her old handset.

It’s just one-step-backward and not back-to-square-one thingy at all!
On the contrary, thank God we have never gone through that phase yet... and hopefully will never go.

Excuse me; I just got an SMS on my phone (which ain’t a BB yet... yet to follow the herd)
