Over the past few years, Cell C my cellphone service provider has not let me down. But two weeks ago I had a problem my blackberry internet services, I could not connect to the internet, and the internet was slow. Since getting used to being connected to all social media networks, yet not being able to connect or send and receive emails I became frustrated. I then decided to change my service provider to Vodacom.I then went to a Vodacom mobile store with my passport and a R5 for a new sim card. I was happy with the friendly service and the fact that I did not have to get a new number. The guy said it would take at least 24 hours to port my number and so the wait began. Due to me being a bit impatient I then switched on my blackberry and stupidly tried to tweet. I felt disconnected from the live world, sadly….alone. I could not even sms or call anyone or load airtime onto my phone L
I had to survive a whole day without my phone. Everything seemed brighter, that’s when I started focusing on other things like having a face-to-face conversation with my classmates. This was not at all bad, but made me realize that I created some sort of tunnel vision when I got my blackberry. I realized that being disconnected was not as bad as I thought it would be. And by the 24th hour of porting my number I was once again connected to the online world.
I certainly wouldn't be able to cope without my BB
ReplyDeleteI have had countless encounters being without my BB, or rather being switched off the BIS network due to my service provider. With all this new technology and social media we do tend to forget how to communicate face-to-face. I myself am guilty of it.

You know what they say: "You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone." Well, that's where the debate about social media comes in, Dhonaye. People are arguing whether these networking sites are bringing people closer together or actually getting them farther apart. What's your take on this? Either way, there's no reason to change anything, since doing so would bend the uphill climb, so to speak.
