Opus 2021-284: First World Problems (FWP): While I Slept...

My phone rearranged itself while I slept.  It is not my imagination.  It is not paranoia.  

One of the steps in my morning is to check the icon that gives me the outside temperature.  I am not so concerned about the projected high or the forecast for the week.  I just want to know if it is warm enough to sit on the porch for the beginning of my morning worship.  

The button was not there.  I swished sideways and checked the other screens.  If you don’t know what that means, think of turning the pages or checking another notebook on the shelf.  No button.  So I started looking.  I found it under and icon labeled “weather” that also held the button for “camera”.  At the same time the picture for Weather Underground had not been moved.  

I did not do it.  It was changed in my sleep.  Now my question is, “What else did it change without my permission?”

I don’t like phones.  I don’t like cell phones.  I really don’t like smart phones.  My utmost contempt is for devices that think they are smarter than I.

What if they are right?
