In-app-ropriate thoughts |
We had twenty minutes to pack and be ready for our voyage by slow-boat down the Mekong, and disaster had struck. My attempt to download the latest iPhone software upgrade had taken more than an hour, and appeared to have deleted 17 apps from my phone.
No more Currency Converter app, so handy for calculating the Lao kip! Farewell BBC News app, indispensable for keeping up with the Coalition Government! Goodbye First Direct app, great for personal banking on the go! Adios to my Gym Fitness App, helping me fend off the effects of 44!
I was appalled. At myself. We'd made it to the jetty, were gliding past children squealing in the water, rock-faces soaring from the riverbank, purple-draped mountains in the distance. All this before me, and I was fretting about how to get those apps back. Getting away from it all on the other side of the world? Not now. Not yet. Not when there's an Iphone in your pocket.
