Handiness of Technology

The old times vs the new times.

When you want to write an appointment...
...in the old times, you jot it down on a paper calendar.
...nowadays, you mark it in your mobile calendar.

When there is an electricity power failure...
...in the old times, you try to light a match and find your way to a fuel lamp.
...nowadays, you just use the light emitted by your mobile.

When you think you are looking good...
...in the old times, you get your film camera to take a self-photo, and wait months until you use up the rest of the film to process the photos.
...nowadays, you take a self-photo with your mobile and upload it to your PC instantly.

When you want to wake up early...
...in the old times, you would set that annoying analog alarm clock.
...nowadays, you set a number of alarms for specific days in your mobile.

When you must wait in a waiting room...
...in the old times, you stare or you gossip with strangers.
...nowadays, you play a complex 3D game on your mobile.

When you are feeling nostalgic...
...in the old times, you fetch a dusty pile of letters that you or your friends wrote long ago.
...nowadays, you look at some SMS messages you kept in your mobile.

Oh, and by the way, mobiles can also be used for calling. But that's aside :)
