New Jersey Baby Boomer

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of LG DoublePlay™ for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

As I look out the window of our rural New Jersey home, I can almost make out the closest cell tower through the trees in the forest across from us. I remember all the controversy when they first proposed putting in the cell tower. At that time I owned my first cell phone…an early model…a “brick” as they are fondly called because of the shape, so I didn’t have any qualms about a cell tower being installed closer to my home, if done right. Time has passed, and all those who complained are now benefiting from that cell tower. So it is with progress.

Speaking of progress, as a baby boomer, one who has used a cell phone for years, I’m still not adept at using the newer smart phones and need to learn from my daughter and son. Though I can access the internet with my cell phone, I do not yet have a smart phone…I joke and call mine a “dumb phone”.

But I do wonder whether my son and daughter have seen the new phone that has not one, but two touch screens to work from…the LG DoublePlay™, you can be browsing and shopping on one while you text on the other. It has a great camera and video recorder…you can take your picture or video and have it up on Facebook or sent wherever you wish in a few short minutes. The split QWERTY keyboard and split screens give this phone such a unique look, yet it closes down and becomes quite compact. This special phone is only available at T-Mobile.

My, everything has gotten so fast! It is hard for me to keep up, but then again, you can accomplish so much more. I’ve been text messaging for a bit over a year now, didn’t used to like it, but now can’t live without it. I’m managing to do at least a couple hundred messages a month…how about you? Let me know, is 200 a month a lot or not? Do you do much social networking on your phone? I have a tablet with the Android OS, but not a phone with it yet like the LG. This baby boomer has some catching up to do!
