In the general sense, I am not technologically inclined. I know the inner workings of a computer, how RAM and ROM work, basic circuits, etc. But phones, especially these "smart" phones, confuse the hell out of me.
The US Government recently said that it was perfectly legal to hack your Iphone, despite Apple's claims to the contrary. What the US Government CANNOT do, however, is rewrite the Terms of Service agreement between Apple and the customer without Apple's consent. So who is right here? Do I aggressively defend Apple, or defiantly stand with Iphone users? The answer lies somewhere in the middle.
You should be free to hack your Iphone- if you are perfectly fine with breaking any TOS contracts you hold with apple. When you do this, and complain that Apple won't fix your hacked Iphone, please by all means cry more.
I have a standard cell phone that isn't a "smart" phone, but it isn't crude, either. I have a contact list, I can text (using a numerical keypad of course) and take pictures. Putting a tiny camera into a phone is a lot harder than most people think. I need a phone that can save my contacts and make phone calls. I don't need a computer in my pocket.
Am I old fashioned, or just frugal with my money and practicality? I tend to think the latter.
