I've noticed quite a few posts regarding issues with the Nexus, most notably the 4G capability and signal strength, and it's brought me to this very strange place-let's call it the modern form versus function ideal.
On one side, we have a phone that is clearly attempting to push boundaries, to try new things and, above all, reach these levels and at the same time trying to keep the basis of cellular classicism in view (call quality, signal strength, etc).
We judge these phones harshly, ever more so as time goes on-but we fail to stop and see the progress, and ultimately-a new way to do things. We are a generation of on-the-goers, movers and never-timers to sit and have a real conversation anymore on the phone, as if we ever really wanted to. If you listen to any podcast you'll notice a chasm forming, the old versus the new. You'll hear talk of us "hipsters" and "new breeders" only using text and new forms of communication, that being twitter, facebook and google+.
In this era, I ask-why are we so quick to judge the dinosaurs of old when they do the new so well? We are clearly the early adopters of the new, yet we judge our instruments on the foundations of old? I ask...why?
