Where They Do That At?

"So, it's the year 2010 and you don't have unlimited text messages for your cell phone? Where they do dat at?" 2010 SJI student, Malik Smith, said.

Agreed. There are a few things that are just inexcusable in this day and age, this is one of them.

Another disturbing bit I heard was that someone attempted to pick up girls using a flip mobile phone...huh? Where they do THAT at?

A flip phone? C'mon now, the last time I saw a flip phone used out in public, the Red Sox were still plagued by 'The Curse of the Great Bambino'.

All jokes aside, what I'm getting at here is that technology is changing more rapidly than ever. There's a new way to connect coming about every 5 minutes. First it was the iPhone craze (the phone with more apps and software updates than seats in the new Cowboy Stadium). This year, it was the Droid and iPad phenomena that had the whole world drooling at the mere thought of the products' release dates.

You have to keep up with current technology if you're going to succeed in the professional world nowadays. That's not to say that you need an iPad, Droid or an iPhone; but you should probably have some sort of smartphone or at least a really nice laptop. You can no longer depend on a standard phone and a house desktop; this is the era of instant technology, with 3G smartphones and high-speed laptops.

There's nothing wrong with being a little old school; but let's not get overboard.
