LG GW300. Unpoetic August 11, 2009
Sometimes, it seems like most of the content on the internet is generated either by idiots or machines, spewing out words using some kind of vomit cannon. And sometimes it seems like something has been written by not just an idiot, and not just a machine, but an absolutely idiotic machine. Take this little summary of the not-yet-released LG GW300, for example
“It is a feature phone that is focused on the thumb pressing, social network joining, Twitter viewing, young ones.”
And tell us you didn’t just die a little inside. Yes, we know, whoever’s written this’s English is probably better than our [insert random language here]. But come on, does it really take that much to get someone to give something the once over before you post it? The sad thing is most people will be happy to read the sentence, because it gives them the information they want. Yes, the LG GW300 is good for the thumbs because it has a QWERTY keyboard. Yes, it’s got a few social networking apps pre-installed so you can update your status very quickly using your happy thumbs. And, with its stripped down features (no GPS, bo 3G, no WiFi), the young ones will indeed be happy that it’s so darn cheap (according to GSM Arena as well as us). But where’s the poetry?! Where the metaphors?!
Oh well. Such is the curse of this big idiotic machine thing we call the internet. Have a little look at this LG GW300 review for some more stats and specs on this thing (although, again, no poetry).
