I quote: "Life is much simpler when apple and blackberry were just fruits".
At a food court: I was having lunch, surrounded by teenagers playing with their colourful berries while their having their lunch. Seriously, people, I could come up with better names: whiteberry, blueberry, greenberry, redberry, purpleberry, shocking-electric-pinkberry.
On a bus: I was trying to catch some sleep, I needed that desperately. But couldn't get a peaceful one, since I was surrounded by pinging Blackberries for the whole 2 hour trip. They came from the front, the middle and the back seats. O well, if I could finally fall asleep, I would have dreamed of "PING", "TING TUNG" and "OH-OH" running around chasing each other.
At a diner: There's a story about one autistic family having dinner together. Dad was on his Blackberry phone, Mom was texting on her Blackberry, Son was playing DS (probably still too young to have a Blackberry). Once they were done with their meals and gadget activities, they went home. No conversation occurred. Blackberry should have a new motto: "BLACKBERRY. MAKING DISTANT PEOPLE CLOSE AND CLOSE PEOPLE DISTANT". (Anyone needs a translation, feel free to buy me a Blackberry and I will BBM you the translation).
There comes a time when people spent money on short messaging services through their cellulars. They had limits though. They could go bankrupt if they didn't spend it wisely. But now we got Blackberry messaging, with overjoyed gratitute to the provider, it's FREE of charge! A huge and successful invasion. It has expanded its basic function from emails to chats. From executives to teenagers. From working purpose to just a lifestyle. Couple years back, having a Blackberry was a privilege. Now, it's just a common cheap gadget.
Some people once claimed they didn't need a Blackberry. When they finally surrendered to the technology, they just couldn't live without it. It's a gadget accommodating life, not the other way around. Blackberry is a new synonym of "soulmate", "addiction" and "lifestyle". Everyone else without one looks so out of this world. Ouch!
