Touch Screen Genius

At the urging of my oldest son, I finally decided to join the 21st century and get an iphone.  Like everyone else, I had heard all the hype about Steve Jobs, and the iPhone being the greatest technological advancement to come along since the personal computer.

I have a personal computer at home and have no problem navigating the Internet, checking my email, or using Microsoft Word.  But after having my iPhone for over three months, I still couldn't do much more than I could with my old Flip Phone.  And, anytime I tried to go into my iPhone's settings or visit the App Store, I got completely overwhelmed.

I went to Barnes and Noble to see if they had an instruction manual for this thing but the books were all huge and would require way more time than I was willing to invest.  Next, I checked out Google but soon found myself hopping all over the place.  Two hours later I still hadn't found any useful information and wound up watching funny cat videos over at YouTube.  Not a real good use of my time!
