Last week my smart phone stopped working. No outgoing texts or calls, no internet access, no mobile email facility, no social media apps...Just a 'body' with a partly functioning 'brain'.
In the meantime, I had no less than 3 emergency hospital check ups and gave birth to a baby!
Bad timing perhaps?
Or was this the best possible scenario - unable to access certain tools on my phone to make for a significantly quieter and simpler week?
I like simple. Cut and dried. Black and white. Hey, technicolour (or HD) has fantastic qualities too...But oh the simple things!
For the last year my life has really been trans (con) formed by a highly competitive piece of communication technology. The press button efficiency and on demand access has been something revolutionary - and yet, also addictive. I didn't realise this in its entirety until just last week when I was cut off from 'this world' without a solution within 24 hours.
Being completely dependent on the right person calling at the right time has been challenging...but all in all, I'd say that my smart phone device going 'stupid' for the last 7 days has been like a breath of fresh air!
At the time of posting this entry, my phone is still out of order. Catch up - with birth stories and blog updates at least, will be labour intensive!
