Something that makes me shake my head with a “really?” is the note of origin stamped on every email sent from a smartphone. “Sent from my iPhone” “my Andrioid” “my Blackberry” “my Windows Phone!” they shout. Really?? I have never in my life gotten an email declaring the computer of origin, or a letter declaring the quality of pen.
Just imagine that in other situations:
Person 1: Have you got the time?
Person 2: Yes, it’s 3:15, provided by Rolex.
Person 1: Do you have any gum?
Person 2: Sure, here you go.
Person 1: Um...why is this gum stamped with the words “Carried by Gucci?”
Linty spearmint will taste the same no matter what brand of purse it is carried in. So why are messages sent from phones touted as the best words on the planet? It’s so absurdly narcissistic.
Thoughts? Contradictions? Other examples of smartphone insanity?
I think it's sent that way so that if a reply is particularly blunt or short or something, people know it's sent from a smart phone, not a fully comfortable keyboard. Also, I kind of thought they were almost programmed that way, like when Facebook says that someone posted something via Android, iPhone, etc. Just a thought?
