The Apple iPhone is designed to make life easier for the traveling office worker. It’s possible to do more on this device than any others in the past. Unfortunately, there are also more (and better) games available for the iPhone. It’s applications like these that make the technology less productive than they should be.
Personally, I couldn’t imagine paying several hundred dollars on what would essentially be a game boy if you filled it with all the new games. For that kind of money, I want something that I can actually use and not just to keep myself distracted. I’m sure that consumers demanded the games, but what is the purpose.
If you are going to spend a fortune on technology then at least make sure that technology is able to earn back some of its keep. Sitting around playing Tetris will not bring the money flowing in – and if someone does manage to find a way to make this happen then I want a piece of the action.
Keep the games away from the office supplies and you will be amazed at how much more you can accomplish. Spend your time (and memory) on something more valuable. Just say no to clogging the iPhone with child’s play.
