My Digital Generation
Coming soon to an E61 near you. An eBook called My Digital Generation about growing up with technology, loving it, hating it and finally tolerating it…
“When I was very young we used to have an outside toilet and I remember being scared that a big spider or rat would come and visit while I was taking care of business yet at no time did I think it odd that the toilet was in the garden. My brother and I used to have our baths in the kitchen sink and again it all seemed perfectly normal. We used to play in the street because there were hardly any cars and when the man who lived a few doors down picked up the local children to let them sit in the back of his open bed truck while he drove down the hill no one shouted “paedophile!” at him. It was a glorious experience sitting in the back of the truck feeling the wind rush throw my horribly styled hair at a maximum speed of ten miles an hour…”
“…I remember snow very vividly and being able to build a Dad sized snowman and then roll his head down the hill just before the global warming melted him- in those days global warming was called the Sun. I have not seen ‘proper’ snow for many years and my children (3 and 6 years old) have never experienced not being able to walk properly because the snow is up to their knees.”
“Both the Dash and the E62 boast superb messaging features, including push e-mail, compatibility with corporate Microsoft Exchange servers and POP/IMAP e-mail access, although the E62 gets a slight edge with its BlackBerry Connect support. Each smartphone boasts multiple IM clients (AIM, ICQ, MSN and Yahoo on the Dash, while the E62 has all but ICQ) and intuitive, easy-to-use messaging clients. That said, neither phone features a contextual, while-you-type menu of contact names in the “To” field for new messages, something we’ve come to expect from the latest smartphones.”
Now calm your excitement.
