I've been thinking about this for all of five seconds while incredibly high, so bear with me.
I have a Blackberry Storm 2. It has a wildly variable battery life, a tendency to stall, and a slot for an sd/HC card. It had 3G mobile network capabilities, Wi-Fi and bluetooth connectivity. it has several gigs of device memory for songs, videos, apps and all that rot. It's a pretty solid phone, and I suppose I could use it for self defense as a last resort.
Now here's the clincher: I feel disabled without it.
Not "naked", like I forgot my shirt or my underwear. "Disabled", like I left my wooden leg in the car(I am not actually disabled, legally, although I am aspergerish).
Does anyone else feel like this?
When I have my phone, I feel "wired", or "jacked in". Information is but a touch away no matter where I am. I am not the know it all anymore, I'm the librarian. It's as if when my battery dies or I don't have my phone on me, I don't just lose a communication source, I lose a part of my being. Internet access is after food, shelter, and safety. If I can' get it, I feel like I'm missing a vital part of me. I understand that the logical conclusion leads to something that is ridiculously insane, but does anyone else get that "disabled" feeling from not having internet access, and would you think it more a call to artificial evolution, or a warning sign of extreme decadence?
