My brother and I were talking about our iPhones today.

He was wanting to send a thank you to his friend, who had helped a very close relative make a connection to a very good Chemo doctor. The doctor was able to help in ways far beyond our hopes.

The friend was into hiking and the back country during vacation time. My brother wanted to send a nice photo with his thank you note.

I had downloaded a beautiful photo some time back. I showed it to him. He asked for a copy. I sent it.

Within mere moments he had his photo, and a very timely thank you had been sent to his truly wonderful friend.

Folks, iPhones are what you make of them. If you can’t think creatively to use them productively, then by all means get rid of it. While you are at it, admit to yourself you really are surrendering on the idea you have the tools to utilize it to it’s full potential.

Our family uses text messages to communicate as a group on important matters. We each can contribute, make suggestions, and resolve tough issues.

The elderly can keep in touch with loved ones anywhere on the planet. Photos can be sent in mere moments. They can occupy their time and not feel so lonely if they are all alone. They can watch movies, television shows, and shorts. They and you can learn how to do things. They and you could go out and to them.

Health issues can be tracked, corrected, and resolved

Information is at your fingertips constantly. It’s like having the Library of Alexandria at your fingertips, only better.

Today my brother pulled up Google Earth. In moments he had shown me Mounts Everest and Whitney from space. He could have pulled up many sites around the planet.

There isn’t a topic you can think off where there isn’t others out there with information that can fill in the gaps in your own knowledge.

You can keep up on political issues. You can network for success to help your community, region, state, nation, and planet thrive.

If you have an interest you can network with others. You can meet new people, perhaps a love interest in the process. You can join group activities, because you had something in your hand that allowed others to contact you in real time about a gathering just ahead.

You can keep in contact with your wife, children, parents, relatives, friends, fellow church members, colleagues, and others. You can find out where to go or connect to support special causes.

You can find information on places to eat, to gather, to enjoy a special place by yourself or with one or mother other people.

You can pay your bills, your bar tab, your restaurant bill, your best friend.

I could go on listing thousands of productive things you can do with your phone. What’s more, so could you.

If you wish to look at the worst possible side of this, I’m betting you think of the worst possible side of may issues.

Go whine to someone else.

I have better things to do than listen to people you are consummate losers.
