Physical Or Virtual?

With the dawn of the digital age many of the physical solutions we have constructed throughout time are now turning virtual. Are you still storing actual paper files in a filing cabinet? I didn’t think so. Staying in touch with friends and coworkers through written letters? No chance. Still using the light switch on the wall to control the lights? Well…probably, but if you have an iPhone you can download an app that allows you to control them from anywhere in the world. My point is that as technology changes, we must adapt.

One simple change, however, still irks many and has people questioning if everything needs to become virtual. I’m talking about keyboards. Yep, cell phone keyboards. While it may look cool to have a virtual keyboard, it’s not always the easiest and most efficient way to get your message out. Often, it takes time to get used to the sensitivity of this new technology and can sometimes be very frustrating until you get the hang of it. With that being said, what type of cell phone keyboard do you prefer – Physical or Virtual?

Recycle Your Phone

Can you hear me now?

Every year nearly 130 MILLION cell phones are thrown away in the United States alone.

That’s a lot of useless equipment… Well, almost useless. The millions of unused cell phones wasting away in landfills are only considered useless because we decided to throw them out.

Did you know that cell phones are recyclable?

Yep, instead of tossing out your 1st generation iPhone when you get a new one, donate it! Not only will you be helping others in need, you’ll also be saving the planet from harmful toxins and pollutants (See it for yourself). Here are a few ways to put your old phone to use!
