A Great Distraction – The iPhone 8

Published by

I am one of those waiting for the iPhone 8 – not because of the bells and whistles it is rumored to have but because the current phone I have is the 4s. You may laugh but it has been the best phone ever, from design to the ability to function in mint condition for several years. I hate parting with my phone, but under the circumstances, mainly the enhancements my lovely 4s can no longer handle, I need to evolve as well and just get a new phone to function at the speed of light (if you will) in today’s fast paced life we’ve not-so-willingly have fallen into. So, with less than a week-ish to the announcement and the ability to order, and then stand in long lines at the store to pick up said phone, I share with you rumor-or-not, some interesting details about the iPhone 8, and wonder if it is worth the small fortune – meaning to say, if I should just opt for the 7.

I think it’s about time, we take a step back and reflect on the way we’ve been handling ourselves in this nation – very divided, overly opinionated, and downright disrespectful, and we need to think greatly about where we are headed. To somehow, wake up, and gear our attention to making  positive changes so that we can try to save our planet from self destruction. That’s the message I felt I needed to share this Tuesday morning.   {featured photo source}
