I believe that we are only a few years away…maybe…from when smart phone commercials start advertising that you can actually call people with there new smart phone devices.
My Mom asked the salesman (Best Buy, I think) for a cell phone that was just a phone. She didn’t want texting or a camera or tweeter (her word) because it just made it more complicated to use. She said the guy looked at her like she had two heads.
Much as I liked my flip phone ( it showed animated bird or butterfly on the screen when opened) I love the camera on my iphone 5. I get some very cool pictures and the 5 is smaller, fits in pockets better.
But he can get tweets on a cell phone. Twitter actually started there. Most tweets came from SMS messages and the web was the secondary place to read and submit tweets. It’s the reason tweets are (were) 140 characters long. SMS maxes out at 160 characters and Twitter needed space for the address…

Did Marcus always have a Skrull/Thanos chin? This is the first time I’m noticing it.

Flip phones were fun. You could casually open yours with the flip of a thumb. But I am hooked to my smartphone and my news feeds.

Even on a smart phone – if you are not signed-in to social media [twitter] – you will still not get his tweets. A very smart thing to do.

At least the Chargers are mediocre this year. I’m glad they had the wherewithal to not find a way to lose to the Browns yesterday.
