Bullying

I know it has been a while since I have written a blog post and I don’t plan start writing many more but I actually started writing this as a tweet but it was turning out to be too long for a tweet and just wouldn’t carry the same meaning.

The Definition of a Smartphone

SmartPhone OnePlus One

Originally our mobile phones were designed to make and receive calls but with mobile phones getting so advanced in functionality we’ve started to call them smart – or the phone companies have made us call them smart.
