Chip and I are both geeks. He might be a geek in his own "professor of philosophy" way, but I geek out on tech stuff. Like computers, phones, apps, design programs, etc. So as Chip can guide me in the ways of finding the true self, I can guide him in the ways of everything that helps you find everything else, except of course, your true self. But hell if I can't show you how to figure out how to perfectly remove a "photobomb" from your favorite cruise photograph without it looking Photoshopped at all (curious?). And all from a mobile device:
Chip: what is a smartphone? I have no idea
Me: Wow, really?
Chip: nope, never been explained to me
Me: well...umm...
Chip: does it just mean that it's more than a phone?
Me: A smartphone is a mobile phone offering advanced capabilities, often with PC-like functionality
Chip: I thought that was a blackberry
Me: a blackberry IS a smartphone--but there are different types/brands/platforms of SmartPhone. Blackberry is just one.You have Droid, Blackberry, iPhone...
Chip: oh, so not every smartphone is a blackberry.
Me: Right.
Chip: what makes something a blackberry then?
Me: umm. For starters, it's branded, "Blackberry." It's made by a company called RIM (I think it stands for Research in Motion.) Basically Bberry is RIM's brand of smart phones, which is also bascially a personal digital assitant. It's OS (operating system) is more catered for PC-like functionality.
Chip: oh I see, that's the brand, Blackberry. It's made by RIM. Kind of like the brand iPhone made by Apple. I thought it was the name of a device, but its a brand
Me: I think we just had a breakthrough
Chip: u wanna see a pic of my phone. it does many cool things. I can call people
Me: Nevermind...
