Coming home from dinner Saturday night, we were talking about our handheld electronics. I was reminiscing about the good old days when my blackberry was literally attached to my hip.

I loved that device. I still don’t think anything replaces the old-style Blackberry for sending emails. True, it was somewhat of a one trick pony but an efficient, sleek, well laid out pony at that.

I was curious about whether the company was still in business and so on my phone I went to the all-knowing google. Not only is it still in business, but there is a competitive device to my iPhone that has that distinctive chicklet keyboard.

Here’s my point. A few minutes later, I was catching up on Facebook and right at the top of my feed appeared an ad for the most recent Blackberry device.

That kind of knowledge about me is too much. I know that Siri listens when we talk, and so does Alexa and I don’t like those either. Simply too much intrusion for my liking.

And don’t worry. I don’t really see a Blackberry in my future.
