tech



I like to think I'm pretty tech savvy and I try to keep up with the new technology, but for a guy that likes gadgets so much I don't really make the best use of the technology at hand. Last night I got a text message from a friend asking for another friend's phone number. I try not to use text messages, especially while driving, either way this request was complicating things. I had to look up the number and remember it while I either texted back or called. I said to myself they should make it easy to send phone numbers over text. Sure enough some engineer several years ago had thought of this already because that feature is readily available on my phone which is nearing two years old. This just as big as when I discovered that I could search my phone book while on the phone - for when someone calls me asking me for someone else's number. I've sent phone numbers over bluetooth before, so I'm sure I've seen this option before, but it never really registered with me. I just used it for the first time last night. I'm sure I'll use it again in the future.
