Steve Jobs needs to call my father.

So this evening I was exploring my phone upgrade options and made the mistake of discussing the service plans in mixed company.

Me: So that's thirty for the data plan, and five for texts...

Dad: Why do you need text messages?

Me:...because I live in the world?

Dad: You're holding a phone. Why don't you open the phone and call the person?

Me: Okay. We're not having the generation gap conversation right now. I need a new phone!
