Giga Pet

Remember the days when little girls like my sister had Giga pets, you know the key chain that was a virtual pet?  I never got into them.  I thought they were stupid.  This little 1 inch screen with a pixelated creature that needed attention.  I guess there was a way to feed it when it was hungry, play with it when it was bored, watch it sleep, and they could even die if you ignored it (tell me if I'm wrong).  Kinda creepy if you ask me...that's why I don't think we see them around anymore. 
Last night I got the feeling like my smart phone needed too much attention from me.  I still don't know what the heck I'm doing with that thing.  It would take 5 steps for me to even dial 911 so I pray I will never be in an emergency because I would be too flustered to know how to get to the dial pad.  Anyway, last night and many other times it informs me of my possible updates.  I usually ignore them, but I guess it is important for the functionality of my apps to be updated.
I just get the feeling that those who played with such things like virtual pets were more prepared to take on a smart phone than me.  My sister knows so much more and it shows.
Yeah well I'm way better at taking care of a real animal than her ;).
Love you Lindsey!
