Oh boy I've been waiting for a post like this. One of the seven and a half lifetime learning habits is to play. I've never had trouble with this one. I think the way I refuse to use directions is what Krug would describe as "muddling through."
I've got a new toy to play with, to "muddle through"
It's my new Android hand computer. I've got a sensational set of apps that really hook me into the information superhighway. Some of the best include:
-Mint, which links to my bank accounts, alerts me of any activity I deem alert-worthy, and has already saved me tons of money, including helping me catch an instance where a hotel double-billed me for a room that I had already payed Priceline for
-Barcode Scanner, which scans barcodes of products and gives me local and web prices, allowing the whole world to compete with whatever brick and mortar store I happen to be in.
The Android experience is not something I would recommend for most cell phone users. The interface is glitchy, and the user is left to assist themselves, there is no cusotmer service solution for when your dozens of apps start to not play nice, and your os is bogged down with code.
But I keep playing, and the result can be truly fantastic.
