iPhone behavior forecast



I've had my iPhone up and running for about eight hours now and it's AWESOME! I won't waste time with all that can be read elsewhere, and get straight to the three new behaviors and uses I see occurring as unintentional results of this wonderful new tool-toy.

1. Women and men alike will begin using the sleek dark glass as a compact mirror almost immediately.

2. People will begin reaching out to their computer screens to wipe to the next application.

3. Someone will snort blow off of one of these before the night is through.

Rubbermaid-- get it?



No really. Rubber-maid. Get it? How weird is that? Not really that weird, considering the company started in the USA between the wars and around the time of the Great Depression when the plastics industry was developing and the country's class structure was changing; people couldn't afford maids to make their homes as presentable as may have been required for upward mobility. Can't afford a real maid? Get Rubbermaid! (Apparently Rubberwife was already taken by another manufacturer.)
