Since I was young, I have been compelled to take pictures (pics in modern parlance).  First on film and now updated to digital.  My iPhone camera allows for "in the moment" candid shots, instant editing and is cost free.  Not to mention the ability to share and upload to the internet.

We picked up a new car on Tuesday and, in a few words, it's really a mobile computer.  Why else would the dealership assign someone whose title is Genius to explain the myriad bells and whistles packed into our SAV.
