Technology is jumping forward daily.
I'm sitting on the 17.00 ex Heuston Tralee writing this. No longer do I have to try to work my fingers around the touch screen of the Iphone. I can now attach the phone to a keyboard. The keyboard is designed for an Ipad but its port is interfacable with the Iphone.
And while all that is happening there is also great bewilderment taking place.
A colleague at work had one of these and it is perfect for my needs. It may mean I will be able to dispense with my eircom landline.
I was told they were on sale at PC World in Jervis Street, which is about two kilometres from my Dublin office. I looked up the telephone book and dialled the number for PC World. Got through to an office in Chester and had trouble understanding the adviser.
I had a simple question: did PC World in Jervis Street have the item in stock. Without the sale code number she was unable to tell me. That has to be crazy.
I cyceld the two kilometres hoping that they would have them in stock.
Luck was on my side. WHen I asked could I open the box to have a look I was told it was not company policy. After a short pleasant discussion and becasue they had not one on shop display they agreed.
It really is a funny old world.
