Keeping in Touch with my Toyl

Posted by Monte Stevens (Westerville, United States) on 7 April 2009 in Lifestyle & Culture and Portfolio.

I've decided to makeup a new name: toyl.

We have many tools (toys) that keep us in touch with this fast paced world. My toyl just happens to be an iphone. And what can this amazing little toyl do? Since I travel so much my toyl has become my way to stay connected with family and friends by reading and writing emails, by text messaging, by dabbling on my facebook account. I also use it to check in on my work's website for updates and news. With the internet capabilities I check on favorite blogs, pay bills on line, check my calendar and contacts. It even takes photos in a pinch. It does almost as much as my laptop and yet fits in my pocket, much more convenient. Oh, and I can make a phone call with it. Imagine that! And, they're everywhere, so even in this high contrast black and white image, people will know exactly what it is at first glance. A toyl!
