I have been constantly amazed by iPhone. It really has a little brain of its own. A tribute to late Steve Jobs.
Especially in Singapore, almost everyone I know owned, is owning, or plans to own an iPhone. Quite phenomenal.
I've plan to write this post ever since I got my own. Approximately a year ago. Initially, I thought, it was the thrill of new gadgets. Now, a year on, I'm still very attached to the little tool.
1. I used it to track library due dates. Singapore NLB has its own apps, and being able to go online anytime anywhere has helped me a lot in avoiding overdue fines (imagine, being able to bring the list and finding the items at the same time :D)
2. I actually took photos of everything that I need instead of taking notes. My photo album consists of -on top of myriads of children photos- recipes, dictation list, important school announcement, enrichment courses calendars, answers to workbooks (so that I don't have to flip to and fro), ...
3. Entertainment on the go. Practically anywhere, the kids can play games and watch movies. Grrreat for waiting time.
4. Teaching tools. Some great apps teaches phonics, maths, Chinese, ... One of most often apps that I used as reference is the Pleco Chinese-English dictionary and Hanyu Pinyin chart.
5. 'Info-desk' at our fingertips. Combo with Lord Google, I can search anything under the sky. Example question from my 6 years old: why is there so much water on earth?
So, thank you, Mr. Jobs. You have touched so many lives.
