When Your iPhone Quits – Lessons In Coping
"If people need to get a hold of me, they cannot. I have no email, access to Twitter, texts, or calls when about. But then it gets worse, I do not have mobile music right now, I do have access to my contacts, all the saved data is inaccessible. I do not have a watch, or an alarm clock. Having better phones is great, until the phone no longer works. It’s odd and embarrasing, but I am quite fucked in trouble without my iPhone. Damn you Steve Jobs, I used to live without it, and now I cannot."
