That's hello in Lithuanian.
No, it's not random. There is a connection between Lithuania and today's wonderful topic.
Lithuania, now, just happens to have the most widespread use of mobile phones. The statistics are 138.1 cell phone subscribers per 100 people. Lithuania may not be that populous, but that's a lot of phones.
I got all that data from an article titled 'Lithuanians love their cell phones' by Kent German published in the CNET news website. I love my mobile phone too. A lot. And now i'm going to prove why.
Oh God. I sound like a debate speaker o.o
Anyway, why is this absolutely important? Because my humble mobile phone has been looked down upon by too many creatures far too many times. And that gives me a valid reason to prove a point here. :D
So without further ado, here is my magnificent phone. :D
*drum rolls*
TADAAAA!! :D
It's none other than the fabulous sony Ericsson c510.
With cybershot.
So now, allow me to explain three awesome reasons why my phone really is epicly great. :D
Reason #1
Because it's vintage.
This magnificent gadget came into markets on 7 January 2009. And in today's very very fast moving world, it can ,very well, be considered no newer than vintage.
And as we all know,
Vintage is never out of style.
HAH. :D
Reason #2
There's a reason why they say Old is Gold. Because it really is. Just like how my grandparents take care of and look after me, this old phone has been my guardian angel ever since I got it. It's always been there, witnessing all my victories, sorrows and eruptions. When I'm happy, it feeds some music to my ears. When I'm sad, it shows me photographs and video files with my friends and family and cheers me up. When I'm angry because some moron pissed me off, it tolerates and survives my hurling, coming back stronger than ever. I am very much grateful for all that. But, what I am grateful for the most is the protection it provides me with.
Yes, Self Defence is my second awesome reason. You may think it's lame, but let me now take you deep into the mind of an attacker. He is out trying to spot a target. He finds two; one with a smartphone with a pretty fragile screen, and another with a strong, promising phone like mine.
Now, I forgot to mention that this protection applies to virtually all types of attackers.
If the attacker was a robber, he would chose to rob the smarter phone as it'll probably benefit him better.
If the attacker was a murderer, he would probably choose the former target because she'll be easily distracted thanks to her smartphone.
If the attacker was an extorter, he would approach the first one too, because she looks more well to do than the other.
If the attacker was a bully, he would also approach the smartphoner because she'll be the more desperate one to get her phone back when he snatches it from her.
If the attacker was a rapist, he would still choose the owner of the smartphone unless he's that dumb.
I mean, come on, who would rape someone who has a strong phone like mine? That's like inviting death! If you actually get hit on the head with that deadly weapon while executing your attack, you could possibly die because that magnificent creation is THAT POWERFULLY STRONG.
See, so it really does offer protection from all attackers.
Except maybe terrorists.
So now you know it, my secret weapon to deter attackers is my wonderful beautiful handphone. :D
Reason #3
Now, I think this is the most rewarding reason. Especially in today's world, which is apparently infested with smartphones. Now, I'm not speaking in a condescending manner toward smartphones. And I didn't intend to scare you in my previous reason if you happen to own a smartphone. But you gotta admit, this reason I'm gonna state really is a big bonus. :D
And it is.... *drum rolls*
The fact that today's "tech-crazy" kids have no idea how to operate it.
P.S. I love children and their enthusiasm, but i still think it's good that they don't know how to use my phone because frankly, their imagination deserves more than a phone, smart or unsmart.:)
The world we live in today is a place where even one and two year old kids can only be pacified with a smartphone. They come to you and stretch out their hand, pointing at your phone and giving that puppy eyes face. Most smartphoners, as I like to address smartphone owners, quite reluctantly hand it over. They will then realize that that was the worst mistake of their life when they try to get it back from the kid.
"Come on cutie pie, give me back the phone.."
*kid looks at you, the smile on their face vanishing*
"Come on, give it back, little one.."
"I need it back now, come on, give it back"
and you try to slowly take it back.. and then
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!"
And then you have to deal with all the headache and pacifying before you can wipe the sweat off and get your valued possession back.
Now, that scenario turns out a little differently for me..
It's more like this.
Kid comes and asks me for my phone, I give it without much hesitation, stand back and laugh quietly to myself, looking at the child inspecting the alien species of phone they have never encountered before.
They look down and the appliance, supposedly a phone,
look back up, with that what-the-poop-is-this?!! kind of face.
And then, unable to figure out why touching the screen doesn't work, they shamefully hand back the gadget.
See?
No more crying
No more pacifying
No more headaches
Genius.
I love my phone so very very much for this ability of its.
Bet your smartphone can't do that huh? :P
Phew.
Hence, my awesomely stringed debate now comes to a closure and I feel quite good that I've proven a point, my point. That my phone is just as awesomely cool as any other, if not more.
MUAHAHA. :D
Alright then. Having concluded my debate speech here,
VISO gero! :D
I'm sure you could guess in which language this means goodbye! :D
So long, then, my super awesome friend!! :DD
