This is Wayne's World

So I’ve decided the iPhone is not for me after nearly 2 years of pushing it. But not just iPhone, by that I mean smart phones in general. This would be OK and make perfect sense if I disliked them or thought of them as useless but I don’t. I appreciate the power in your hands the usefulness of them and understand exactly how to get the most out of them. I don’t just use my iPhone for texting and calling!
So….
Why get rid? Well…..
Here I try to work it out….

The device is becoming a distraction. Apps telling me and doing things for me that are not required but I still find myself getting involved with. Even though I’m not interested I’m still reading it, playing it and interacting with it!

It will be February before swapping phones due to my current contract covering the cost of Internet usage. Which I wouldn’t need and therefore not willing to pay for. So until then I have some time to chew on the idea of downgrading models. It’s possible I change my mind before then and as some had already said come to my senses but only time will tell. Currently I’m excited by the idea of freeing myself from the trappings of the smart phone world of distraction.

The first step. Delete all games. I don’t play computer games anyway so why pretend I enjoy them on my phone. I’ve also deleted my RSS reader app. I love the RSS reader service google provide but I’d rather log in at my leisure and not as I found myself doing, which is constantly checking and then reading articles I’m not even that bothered about and thus waste time that could be spent doing something…. Well useful.

Do I still need my iPhone?
Do I still want one?
Hmmmm…….
