If technology doesn't seem like magic, it's probably obsolete

I'm finding less time to update my blog these days, but my flickr photostream is often updated.

Playing in my house right now...

At 00:00 GMT on Thursday I was listening to:

My mum upgraded her phone today. Her trusty Nokia 402(?) has lasted about 6 years.

my mother has the EXACT same phone. and she swears she'll never get rid of it. why do our parents fear change?

oh, and she still likes to change the faceplates on it. *sigh*

Yeah, my Mum has the very same model too, and I'm sure she won't replace it until it breaks. On the other hand, I've had a Nokia 3330 for at least three years, and am perfectly happy with it. If it works, and you like it, why change?

Actually, when my phone does break, I'll no doubt grumble about having to pay extra for cameras, colour screens and so on when I don't need any of that. I'm 25, and nobody's parent just yet...

Lindsay -- I don't think my parents fear change, but it 'just worked' so there was no need to replace it. The model my mum had didn't have faceplate changing available. You Americans and your fancy wotsits. ;-)

Kirsten -- only one you have a colour screen, camera, MP3 player, Web browser ... do you realise just how much you did really need those functions all along. ;-) My mum has already sent eight picture messages.

Should I also mention that mum even has a flickr account, with accompanying RSS feed?
