New Phone!

I've just been trying out my new cell phone. It's amazing how each new phone has so many more features than the last. The helpful salesperson and the store had already transferred my contacts from my old phone to the new one. As I was playing around with the tiny instruction book (I remember when they used to be gigantic!) I noticed the voice command feature. I said, "Call Mom." The phone asked, "Did you say, "Call mom"?" I replied "Yes" and the phone started dialing. Amazing!

I heard about a cool class assignment a Spanish teacher gave to her students. She had them take a video camera home and tape the various vocabulary items while they named them in Spanish. It wouldn't have been too long ago that the need for multiple video cameras would have been challenging. Now, many students would be able to use cell phones for the assignments!

I'm eager to start exploring the many features and applications I now have easy access to! I've already ran the battery down, so most of that will wait until tomorrow!
