Frown to Smile



Her lost phone hasn't turned up, and since there was a promotion at the cell phone company, my youngest got an iPhone today.

Her smile says it all.

She's the last one in the immediate family to get an iPhone, or a smartphone of any type. She had settled on an Android, but they had none in stock. For a bit more money, a white iPhone became hers.

We're not particularly possession-oriented in this family, I believe, and none of us is the type to really be into gadgets.

But these powerful smartphones are changing the way we do almost everything. Being able to send and receive emails anywhere and anytime is a fabulous convenience -- and in some ways, even a necessity now.

The range of free apps available is impressive. Wow, this sounds like I'm writing an ad for Apple!

Actually, if anything, it's an ad for family and for love. It gives me so much pleasure to be able to buy these devices for my kids, and to network them into the entire world of iOS.

We are all each other's most frequent texters and callers. A family of iPhoners.
