In a thoroughly modern problem, an alarm started up this morning from somewhere in the BlueTower that wasn't related to anyone's wake-up plans. I tracked this down to a small bag I had just earmarked for recycling, as it was one of those you come home with when you get a new phone, carrying the old phone and boxes and stuff. I guess moving the bag managed to press the power button, so it went off when the alarm came up. The thing of it is, this is not from the last time I got a phone, it was from the time before that, which was from September 2012, and it surely didn't have even close to a full charge when it went into the bag. It has not been plugged in since then, a tribute to the upsides of that dumb phone technology we eagerly abandoned. The thing may not have been great for web-surfing, but hard to argue with the battery life... over two years? Man!
