Technology gone astray...

So the iPhones and iTouch are a great thing, apparently. I have no iDea if these are cool or not, honestly I just got a cell phone at the end of last summer. Getting back to these things that people go crazy over, they have "apps" you can download to the phone and use. Most of them look pretty cool from the commercials. I also have a co-worker that says they are awesome. Although, in case you want to fix a wobbly shelf, there is a leveling app, most likely called the iLevel.

The most useless thing I have ever seen in my life was a Braille drivers' manual. I think people are generally getting dumber as we evolve, not the other way around. Well, I thought that was the dumbest thing I would ever see. Until I caught a glimpse of this $200 leveler.

Friend: Hey, I’m going to level this picture, it looks a little off.
Me: Thanks man, I assume you need a level then?
Friend: No, I have my iPhone and my new app I got just for this sort of thing!
Me: Do you have an app to identify morons?

Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure there are very useful and great apps available for this, but why would anyone in their right mind need their phone to level something? Oh man, that shelf is 0.3 degrees off! Who cares? Call me old school, but it seems like technology is taking a lot out of society today as far as knowing how to do things by hand or manually. Technology is a wonderful thing, but doesn’t it seem like it sometimes gets carried away?
