I have an App for that

There's an App for that.

This unusual phrase has become a very common sentence in our societal conversations.  Cell phones are a great means of communication, whether it be by voice or text.  But now they are the new swiss army knife in your pocket.

Admittedly, my phone doesn't have 2 different screw drivers (it has other drivers), a bottle opener, a scissor or a blade, but it has APPs.

Apps or applications are the ability to take a phone where phones have never gone before and they include:

Games: Angry Birds in particular
Flash Light
Strobe light  (in colors) for that disco mood
Camera
Camcorder
barcode scanner
air hockey
restaurant menus (with the calorie count, I'll never eat  again)
etc...
and my favorite...

The lightsaber!!

It allows me to relive 1977, and battle alongside Obi Wan against Darth Vader.

ok, so email, web access, and facebook and twitter are cool, but they are no match for the imagination of that 15 year old of years ago with a lightsaber in his pocket.

Just Sayin'
