dead phone

My phone locked and had to be wiped. Lost most of my contacts. Can't remember all the apps I used to have, and can't get half the rest to work. Can't remember all the settings I used to have. Why isn't there a percentage number showing on the battery indicator? My weather app is telling me I need to enable location services, but they *are* enabled. Now it's looking for my last known location. My damn phone doesn't even know where I've been. I thought these things were supposed to be smart!

When we dreamed of the future and its bright promise of advancing technology, we forgot how problematic new technology can be. And didn't dream of how quickly it would be outdated - it's *always* new technology!

The guy on tech support said I'd had the phone for quite a while. Less than two years. So I guess two-year contracts are long-term.
