Mobile News

So, I just went to http://www.google.com/mobile/default/news.html#utm_campaign=en&utm_source=hussnw&utm_medium=ha&utm_term=mobile%20phone%20news&dc=gh0snw
to get News on my Blackberry. Despite the simplicity of the process I have to wonder how often I will use this new feature. I have to say that I find it thrilling and practical...after all my phone can do everything (I seriously love my Blackberry) so why can't I easily search Google News on the device..? Well, now I can. But will I?

I already get all of my emails, organize my life, navigate through unknown places, send and receive texts, go on facebook, play games...and of course make and receive calls on my phone...but read the news? I can't say that I have. Sometimes I enjoy the, dare I say, simplicity, of using the computer for certain things and using my phone for others but technology has fused the two so easily. While I was abroad I saved myself thousands of dollars making calls to my boyfriend via Skype on my laptop after the initial shock of my cell phone bill from my first few weeks of my foreign immersion. Afterall, if a computer can act as a phone, I guess I don't see why a phone can't act as a computer.

To be honest, I see great beauty in the joining of technologies. However, I must say that I have uttered a sigh or two of annoyance when the notification of emails on my phone far out numbers my texts. But I suppose being a card carrying member of the millennial generation forces me to welcome yet another opportunity to multi-task.
