Post-22: Phone Birthday

The above is what it says on the back of my phone, behind the battery. It is the phone's manufacture date. (April 12).

Today is my cell phone's fifth birthday.

I got this phone from my friend Byungwon in early 2010. He was buying a new one. Maybe it was a smart-phone.

Buying a new phone is more common than I'd thought for Koreans. It turns out that 68%  of Koreans got a new phone in 2012, the highest turnover rate in the world. Of the 32% that didn't get a new one, some must have gotten new ones in 2011, 2010, and 2009. The number of people still using a phone manufactured in 2008, before smart phones, must be very low. / Hey, this phone still works fine. I'm used to it. The battery still holds a charge fairly well, to my surprise. Why do I need a smart phone? That's my feeling on the matter.

Now that Tim is gone, I think I am the only employee at the language-institute here without a smart phone. Oh well.
