Technology Heroin

A friend just picked up an iPhone 4 at my behest.

I might have raved a little about it..just a little. Anyway, he hated it interestingly.

I ended up siting down and I helped him set it up after his initial attempts were frustrating and counter-productive. And he liked it a little after that. The interesting piece was that it wasn't the phone, or the new face-time thing, or the nice screen or camera - it was the apps. He'd found a few on his own, and every small app that he liked a little and added seemed to make the overall appreciation for the hardware platform itself get higher and higher.

So I think he's hooked now. Which will be handy, as it'll be nice to have a friend in rehab when we lose these things.
