I helped the Wrabbit achieve a state of WiFi with her iPhone a couple of nights ago… over the phone. It worked for me. Apparently a member of the Voodoonista tribe, one Sandilicious, had an ‘OK Corral’ kinda moment when the Wrabbit geekly presented her Apps at a part-ay. heh heh heh.

Trust me. These things can happen at gatherings hosted by the legendary JoJo Joey Joanne. But that’s another story… or two.

Apparently Sandilicious has over 6 pages worth! Clearly the Wrabbit with a single carefully manicured page needed to get up to speed big time. And now WiFi’d, I suspect this is happening right now while your reading this post. Adding App after freakin’ App.

The thing that I don’t kinda get, and yes I am not a Macaphile and I do not own an iPhone, is the attraction of these Apps.

Sure some I guess are kinda handy… like ummmm…. well the instant recipe one is… okay well the one where you ask a question and…. okay the big red button one is kinda funny… well I have been reliable told, since I haven’t actually seen it myself… not owning an iPhone and all.

It’s as though the joy is in collecting the Apps rather than using them… which has no relation to my swelling iTunes collection thanks Midnight. I said step back and step off Midnight. Don’t go there man… it be ugly.

It got me to thinking (ever so briefly) – perhaps Apps that are more targeted to what people really use the phone for would be much more helpful… rather than the Apps people aspire to use…. a good example is the collection of Apps featured in this spoof iPhone advertisement embedded below…. but… is it really fake? I know someone who would use those Apps… but doesn’t. Okay.

Settle down. It is fake. But it’s funny… and yet disturbing, and then funny-er, and then more deeply disturbing… and then a long prolonged silent moment of awkwardness as one reviews ones personal development up until this time… and then opting instead to search for funny-cat-friday videos on youtube.

Truth be told I think I am suffering technology overload.

Is this just me or do others also feel there is just too much technology now demanding bits of my mindspace… when I think of these type of technologies and the wider social media network thingo… it’s the same sensation I get when I watch Bloomberg news on cable tv for too long…

Bloomberg with not one but multiple layers of streaming leader boards racing across the screen with shifts in markets and possibly important news… overlayed across a host who jumps back and forth from his or her studio setting to other ‘informed’ guests in other places dotted around the world for brief comments before throwing to less than a minute reports with a huge amount of moving graphics… and arrrrrrrgh. Please for the love of Grods please stop it.

Living hell I guess is a Bloomberg App on an iPhone.

Thank goodness for remotes. And not owning an iPhone.
