ah..the blackberry..what most business men own..what poor men want to own..and what the youth of today steal to ow- oh wait..but the youth of today do own blackberries.. in fact they are taking over the streets with them. About 1 in 10 young people between the ages of 14 and 25 own a blackberry. Their use? it baffles me.. What 15 year old needs to be connected to their work 24/7? is that not what blackberries are for? But no.. they are paraded around in shopping centres and on buses..excitement surges through teenage girls' bodies as a potential boyfriend has 'pinned' them..smiles beam out of their faces as they check out a picture on facebook..and shrieks of laughter engross them as they type with each letter, a pretty damning status about the tramp they are seeing dancing to himself.
Its a hype that experts have not clue to where it has arised. The phones functions itself are not built for the generation of "let's get excited at polytonic ringtones". Everything is built for quick messaging and transferring of important files for men and women of business who need to act fast to make an important sale but it has now become the most adored plaything for teens these days..with people suffering from withdrawal symptoms when away from their precious BB's for a few hours.
It is a funny sight to be seeing statuses on facebook constantly being updated with random nothings just because the owner has a blackberry and is slightly bored..The concept of normality has escpaed them, and they feel they must report to the entire world at that second. pah..
I for one will continue to use my regular phone and not join in with the hype, not absorbing myself into a world of constant message transfers and using my phone as a way to chat up sexy women.. then again, hmm sexy women..i might go place my order for a blackberry :p
