Iwhat?

As I sit here on my laptop, I realize one reason I have never gotten very involved with the social media site, Twitter. Today, looking around my class, I noticed almost every single classmate of mine was on their Iphone, or other smart phone. As I took a glimpse around the room and then back at my own desk, I noticed my LG enV2 cell phone. As the use of social media has increased more and more, especially through cell phones, I have found that my phone cannot keep up with all the smart phones. Don't get me wrong, I love my phone but it just isn't for me if I'm interested in cellphone social network use. In today’s world, all a person has to do, if they want to post anything on their social media site, is take out their smart phone and simply post it. My sister has the same phone as me and although she has a way of posting her “tweets” through the non-smart phone, I find it way too difficult. In order for me to view Facebook, Twitter, or any other social media site, I have to actually take out my laptop, turn it on, and go through the process of logging into the social media sites. Now, this may seem easy and take very little energy but as I see others very simply using their phones, that they can carry and take out almost anywhere, it makes taking my laptop out seem very difficult. I used to tell people, “I don’t need an Iphone, it’s totally pointless and I would never use all the “stuff” that comes on it”, but now I couldn’t disagree more. I enjoy using my Facebook and Twitter just as much as the next person but let’s just say It’s not as easy for me to “tweet” every second of the day if I wanted to. So, until I get my very own smart phone, looks like I’ll be laptop “tweeting.” Maybe one day that will change...
