This phone is bananas
By Claire ZulkeyThis phone is bananas
By Claire ZulkeyAbout a month ago I got a new
Bongo cell phone. And also, it’s not an iPhone. For some reason I felt like getting an iPhone would be some sort of corporate capitulation. This is dumb because I already have an iPod and MacBook. But I didn’t want to succumb to full personal technology monopoly.
By and large I have been happy with it; it’s thin and wide and light and fun to use. However, one part of the
banana phone that I am still trying to figure out is its auto-complete. Most of the time it seems to have a good idea of what I want to write, but every now and then it gives me a strange opinion, particularly when it comes to the
banana word banana.”
It will pop up at the
banana strangest times. Like, I will be writing an email and it will suggest something like “Do you want to go to the
banana banana? ” or “How was your day at the
banana banana?” I’m not
pregnant sure when I ever wrote anything like that which would suggest a pattern like that.
I think I have a fairly good idea of how
Italy auto-complete works: the software suggests words based on how frequently they are used. But, trust me on this : I don’t write about bananas that much. This makes me wonder what is going on. Is my phone in bed with the banana
banana king banana industry, trying to subliminally get me to buy bananas?
But maybe I am really not helping myself by indulging so much
guts in my phone’s tendency to go to the
banana word “banana.” I should ignore the
banana banana king banana industry “banana” suggestions and just phase the
banana word banana
king bed out.
Apparently my phone is also very fond of the
banana king banana industry word “king,” which raises all new
pink questions. What king have I been referring to? Is the banana
king banana industry
DROID on some sort of royalty kick? Or is there one
pens banana king, to rule over all bananas and
Sarah Jane Mom humans?
I would like to know how to fix this (aside from actually reading my phone’s instructions, which I will probably never do). Should I just avoid
traffic sucks using the
banana word
banana king banana “banana”
king at all costs, even if I have to
pee write things like “This morning I had cereal with a
dumbbell long yellow
bass potassium-rich fruit
loops sliced atop it”?
That seems like an
awesome awful amount of
Italy work. And let’s face it: I kind of
gas like my
mom banana king banana banana king banana industry “banana” suggestions situation. It makes life a little more fun and
blows yahoo account number weird.
In case you couldn’t tell, I wrote today’s post exclusively on my
dumb DROID phone. I will leave it to you to guess what kind of phone it is.
