Recently, I accidentally dropped my iPhone while I was getting out of the car. It landed smacking directly on the ground, quite a few battle scars to the black back of my phone. Strangely, the Apple logo was spared. Those scars would would look good on the faces of Kenshin and Sousuke, but definitely not on my phone.
The instant my phone dropped, my expression was a toned down version of this image
For the first time, I picked up my phone, checked it was still functional, and moved on without giving it much of a second look. From past experiences, I would remain flustered for some time after any gadget of mine gets physically damaged, thinking of ways to try and reduce the damage marks.
Something has changed, slightly. And it’s not only my attitude to the condition of phones, but to other stuff too.
