I couldn’t help it. Well, I could have, but I didn’t want to. So there.
What I did: along with all the other gadget lovers of the Western hemisphere (i.e. techno-sheep), I am now the proud owner of an iPhone. It works, and I love it, and I shall probably be spending many hours during the next few days playing with all of the programs.
Loving something that the industrial designers and engineers at Apple knew I would love makes me a little disappointed in myself. I had hoped that one day, I would be the great contrarian shining beacon in the night, valiantly campaigning against some tempting but wrongheaded trend.
I figure that I’ll have to wait for the next trend to come by. So much for willpower.
