How Did We Cope Without Apps?


So tomorrow the sun comes up at 05:35 and sinks back down to sleep at 20:43 – there. Go about your day with powerful knowledge. How do I know this? Cos the iPhone told me. Brilliant ain’t it? How did we EVER cope without the iphone?

Sun and Moon App - How Did We Cope Without Apps?I came cross this while scanning the latest in the i/App store (yes, I know, we have too much spare time on our hands – somehow) and, after the “oh my god” frown subsided, I wondered what possesses people to develop some of the apps out there.

Now don’t get me wrong, I didn’t splash out a whole 59 pence ($0.99) for this app but I have wasted (A LOT) of money on rubbish apps over the years… Many apps that basically tell you something that was easy enough to know well before we learnt “there’s an ap for that”.

I haven’t mucked about with i/apps for telling me what time the sun comes up, the moon goes down, if it’s gonna rain or by windy or sunny…

To me, like the weather, I have developed an outright accurate system when it comes to sun up and sun down.

If, when I look out the window it’s light – that means the sun is up. If, however, I look out the window and it’s dark, it’s not.

For some people that is clearly far too difficult a concept to grasp. But, for those people, “there’s an app for that”.
