Which iphone is best?

From what I’ve hear about iPhones, they are really cool.  I would like one because their like a bunch of gadgets all wrapped up in one. They have cameras, a video recorder, Internet access and hours of talk and audio.  There’s a few models to choose from but which one is best for me? To dig deeper in my studies, I searched the web and found a comparison chart on about.com.  I am debating between the iPhone 4 and the iPhone 4s, both good phones...but whats the difference?

    Both of these iPhones contain similar features like taking pictures and movies.  I love taking pictures and shooting videos of my family and friends so higher quality pictures definitely matters when purchasing an iPhone.  The real difference between the two is memory space, higher camera resolution and; on the iPhone 4S, it also has the program; Siri.  Siri is basically a voice command system and the only iPhone that has it is the iPhone 4S.  The iPhone 4S contains 3 more mega pixel for the camera than the iPhone 4, which results in better pictures.   Battery life also matters a lot.  You can talk up to an hour more on the iPhone 4S, but it has an hour less Internet browsing time than the iPhone 4.  I like to talk on the phone, but most of the time,  I talk for half an hour or less so talk time isn’t super important.  I really like listening to music and the iPhone 4S can hold up to 8,000 songs more than the iPhone  4.  Both these phones are the about the same weight and size.  But the real thing that I immediately looked at was the price. The iPhone 4S is $300 more than the iPhone 4!  

I ultimately decided that the iPhone 4 is better for me. Sure it doesn’t have as much memory or a higher resolution on the camera, but the iPhone 4S is WAY out of my price range.  I can live without Siri, the voice command program (even though its very cool) and I don’t need a massive amount of memory.  The iPhone 4 is just as portable and easy to use, not to mention its not almost $400 like the iPhone 4S.  I mean, if you think about it , phones used to just be used for calling people and the iPhone 4 definitely offers a lot more features than regular phones. Yeah, maybe the iPhone 4S does have cooler features, higher resolution, and Siri, but having more to offer doesn’t necessarily mean its the right one for me. I’m not willing to spend as much as the iPhone 4S costs but the price of the iPhone 4 is in my range. The iPhone 4 seems to be the right one for me!

Camping with Cumbia:)

Camping with Cumbia
Going to camp with my friend Cumbia was one of the most amazing times of my entire life.  The times we shared together I will always remember because we were always laughing about something funny or dorky we did together. We were always in the bright sun getting burnt and freckling our noses.  Our hair was always frizzy and static from the humidity but we didn't care. We had come to camp in Petrolia  to have fun, not to be beauty queens.

    On the second day we were there, the memory machine started making memories. It worked hard.  Cumbia and I decided to make shaving cream art but it got a little out of control.  We covered our faces in the “beard buster ocean spray scented” men’s shaving cream. It was in our hair and it got in our mouths. It tasted like cologne might taste and the texture was all icky and pasty. To get all of the shaving cream off we jumped into the river and when we were in we screamed at each other in British accents. Yes, we have a weird relationship;like a shaving cream in mouth and hair kind of relationship.Yeah, we’re weird.
   
    On the last night that we were at camp, we all sat in a circle, around a warm crackling fire.  All thirty seven girls. We each lit a small candle to resemble the  great times we shared at this wonderful camp. Almost the whole circle was crying about having to leave. I was crying. Cumbia was crying. Basically EVERYONE was crying. I buried my red eyes and my tear covered face into Cumbia’s sweater and she held me close.  We were so close I could hear her heartbeat,and feel our friendship getting stronger. And it did.

    The night was finished off with a shaving cream fight and a river of tears.  We were so sad about leaving but yet still so surrounded by people we loved that they were tears of joy, not sorrow.  And at that moment only one thing mattered. Love.

Electronics

Technology is cool. I mostly use technolgy in the way that I listen to music and use the computer. I listen to my moms ipod when we are in the car using an itrip plugin device. I like to talk to my friends on the phone and text. I have a facebook and theat is the main website i use to go on the internet. Tecnology in 10 years will be more advanced. We will probably have 16g phones instead of 4g. lol. the price of phones and computers will be a lot lower because there will be so manny of them in the world that almost everyone else will have them. In 50 years humans will travel in little hover crafts and not have to drive because they can type in the destination and it will go there. computers will be foldable and you can fit them in your pocket and take them out whenever you need it. :)
