Life without smartphone 1

First post after my iPhone got stolen

Been using iPhone for more than 7 years, the smartphone world taught me a lot, helped me made new friends, allowed me to connect with old friends etc. I felt extremely occupied and busy with a smartphone, I lowered my head on the train, in the bus line, in the bathroom...

I had a 64GB phone with 17000 + photos and videos, tons of handful apps, lots of memories.
2013 is not a good year for me and 2014 chinese new year wanted me to leave the smartphone world.
Whatever reason it is, I would like to treat it as fate
Friends asked me when I'm gonna get my smartphone back and be in the "modern world", I say as long as I could resist taking money from my pocket to get a new one.

Life without smartphone:
1. Felt like a hero, friends are amazed how you can live without a smartphone in 2014
2. Felt lonely, you got no one to "talk" to during your train rides (not to say the games that you have been playing and earning the "gems"/"coins")
3. Felt distant, while having a face-to-face group gathering with friends, they share photos into the "group chat" infront of you, but you cant download them
4. "Handicapped"- you have no idea where to place your hands now
5. Observe more of the "real world" - you start to pick up your head, you are forced to look around to find interesting things to look at, forced to listen to the people around you
6. "Too much" free time - reading books, writing blogs (ah-ha), daydreaming

Now I still see more pros than cons, till next time.

PS i got a nokia 206 as my temp phone for now, for real.

SpatialKey Data. Let's feel like CIA!

Spatial Key. is a new technology produced by Universal Mind.I feel like is the CIA version of Google Map. It can help you research, analyse and visualize (feel faimilar? Parsons D+M student) whatever it's happening in a certain area with numerical datas. I can only think of how useless Hong Kong government are using 天眼 produced by Sanyo (I believe is this one), but can never catch that crazy guy in Mong Kok. I really hope this case will be closed asap. Watch the video and you will understand how Spatial Key. However, you will need Java to be able to run Spatial Key. Download Java here.

Just a wee-bit more about Spatial Key:
You can apply for the Beta version here. I have already applied, but it takes two weeks before they send you a confirmation. I will update when I try to use that on my own. You can follow them on Twitter too! I saw TIME magazine featuring Twitter on the front cover! I know Twitter rose $12xx% since last year (number of members), crazier than Facebook.
