I Got a Blackberry Mainly Because I was Curious

摘要

Irecently got a Blackberry. It wasn't so much that I felt that I needed a smart-phone; rather, it was curiosity that I might be missing out on something. Despite my role as a technologist and technology journalist, I rarely adopt the leading edge of new technologies. I've never considered that my use of any technology makes a statement about me, as so many of those with iPhones and now Android phones seem to do. Rather, I carefully consider if a technology is useful for the set of activities that is important and relevant to me, and if its cost delivers enough value to justify the expenditure. I bent that rule with the Blackberry.
