I traded my not-smart phone for an iPhone last December when my contract was up for renewal, and I just discovered the coolest thing. If I take a picture on my phone, it automatically uploads straight to my computer!
Sigh, I know. I am clearly not worthy of an iPhone. I can't believe it took me four months to figure this out. This has to have something to do with {{The Cloud}}. A subfolder called "My Photo Stream" mysteriously appeared in the "My Pictures" folder on my computer, containing all my phone pictures. I didn't create this folder or change any settings on the computer, so it must have been something that {{The Cloud}} did automatically. If it was something I did, I didn't do it knowingly...maybe it happened when I plugged the phone in to transfer music from iTunes.
I envision {{The Cloud}} as a giant swirling nebulosity of sparkly purple mist, containing the sum of human knowledge somewhere in a huge server farm building in California. It must be sentient, to know that I wanted my photos on my computer and my email and Kindle books on my phone.
I do not understand {{The Cloud}}. I think it's smarter than me.
But I like not having to go fetch the cable to transfer pictures off my phone.

OK then, you are going to have to show this to me. I had no idea. I'd better go look to see if I have such a folder on my computer also.
ah...one day. I continue with my dumb phone *sigh*
