an Anachronism

joins the modern age

The story starts w/ the iPhone 4s b/c I wanted ' Siri '.
In fact, 2 4s phones one for each of us.
Hardly used Siri - well, the first 2 weeks
Before that we had $50 phones from Speakout the prepaid carrier < third party carrier that piggy backed off the Rogers signal >

Then came the Chromebook or full android Chrome OS unit. This step brought in the age of Bluetooth.
Then last year, the switch to Rogers Ignite brought wireless internet throughout the house.
Supposedly 1 Gb service at max. Actually, 400 Mb is about it if done wirelessly.
I purchased wireless, noise cancelling headphones which are a much more versatile option 
We haven't gone home security over the 'net b/c we don't data for our phones.
Well, wireless speakers are coming for Xmas. The speaker ( s ) is fully android and portable. I'm encouraged to take it to the beach etc. b/c it resists dust and water

BTW , its 3:30 A w/ coffee and typing
Couldn't get back to sleep
Hi, Paul Simon ' are you awake ? '

How to spell frustration "   moto g5 "
I'm talking to M while away. I was looking for the mechanic that the tire girl referred us to.
Then ' no sound '. Tried everything < except ..... >
I re - started
moved the Volume button up and down

Went on line
many pieces of advice
but bottom line
if you reset and still no sound your speaker is gone
you see there is sound through the earbuds

Finally, 3 h later
I slapped the phone near the bottom w/out the protective case on
Yes - sound
We used to get a slap near the bottom from mom - always worked back then
of course, it works now

Won't last but at least this time
