It's really no secret that I love technology. The possibilities for data manipulation are endless, and for an info junkie like me, that's irresistible. However, there is always a price to be paid for such power, both in time and money. Ironic, since supposedly, technology is supposed to save us time!
It's after midnight, and I have just spent the last 3 hours repairing my contact files in Gmail. I found a neat new way to sync my phone and Gmail contacts... but didn't fully understand what I had set up, and ended up using another (unnecessary) app that corrupted the Gmail account. Thankfully, it had the good grace to create a backup file before totally wonking my data.
I was able to get everything back in order, even better than before I decided to try something new, but it took a while... and the fact that I would NEVER have had anything catastrophic like this happen to a paper address book was not lost on me.
Time saver? Not so sure.

This is exactly why I prefer Android phones over the iPhone. :)
