How the iPhone changed how i park my car
If you don’t yet have an iPhone but you have friends who do, chances are you’ll have seen them struggle to define how the iPhone is more than just a phone.
It’s hard to describe, but for me the essence is that the iPhone’s hardware components are programmable. I’ll delve into that in more detail in a later post but for the moment, consider the way my iPhone has changed a very everyday aspect of my life not usually associated with telephony: parking the car.
When i drive to work i have to move my car every hour. After a few re-parks i forget which street my car is in. Dropping a pin on gmaps on my iphone helps me find my way back. Setting the timer on my iphone takes five seconds and means i never get a parking ticket… unless a meeting runs late!
So this cellphone has saved me walking time, parking fine money, and this morning, it went one step more: I used the Shazam app on my iPhone to ID and tag a great song playing on the radio and then buy it from iTunes.
iPhone’s a game-changer. All you haters better step back.
