While sitting in class this afternoon trying to avoid listening, I pulled out my laptop to browse the intertubes. However upon reaching for my charger in my bag, I was stunned to realize that I left it in my apartment. This normally wouldn’t be a problem for a normal length class, but this was a 3 hour abomination against god that required full distraction capabilities. However my battery would surely die after about two hours of use. I turned down my screen brightness, and hoped for the best. Disaster struck however while chatting with the text capabilities of Skype with my brother when my battery finally quit with over an hour left in the class. I just simply pulled out my SmartPhone, signed into Skype Mobile, and continued chatting with the full keyboard on my phone.

Let’s pause here and analyze what just happened with an analogy. If I were a soldier, my main weapon would have just run out of ammunition, and to finish the battle I needed to pull out my sidearm. Now in combat, this would be all well and good. (Except for the fact that this switch would likely be occuring after the shit has hit the proverbial fan.) However when transposed to the context of technology, it truly demonstrates how ridiculously nerdy I really am. Alarming.
