Smartphones, Less Facebook and Avoidance 2012

Since writing about Smartphones, Facebook and Avoidance last year it seemed logical to do an end of the year follow-up since my phone died and I bought a “smartphone”.
At first I hated it, but as soon as I learned how to work it, I loved it.
Recently it introduced me to “Swype”..yeah, I know…anyways, its a type of mobile phone keyboard for texting…most of us tap a key for each letter but with the “Swype” keyboard you must be able to spell and Swype connects the letters by “swyping”. I was pulled grudgingly into using swype keyboard simply because, I didn’t choose it. One day I sent a text and the next thing there was the Swype keypad instead of Tap…the long/short is I learned a lot in a year like the smartphone is only as smart as it’s owner.
