Artifact Interview

Kassi chose to use her iPhone as her artifact for today.

The phone resembles an iPod. It is about the size of your hand. Kassi has placed a white cover on the phone to protect it from damage. There is a small camera on the back of the phone and the speakers are located on top of the front surface. There is a place for the charger to fit into the bottom. The screen of the phone is a touch screen so there are no visible buttons for you to push. When you want to type something, a small keyboard appears and you tap the letters into the phone. This object is obviously used for making phone calls, texting, and interacting with those who Kassi chooses to.

The phone reminds me of an iPod. The make up is very similar to the iPod touch. I don't know much about the iPhone because it is not my phone company carrier. But I have heard many good things and many bad things. I've heard it was hard to type because of the touch screen and that it can break quite easily. Others have informed me that their phones have frozen before and they have had to go through multiples. It is a neat design though, and they company is keeping up with the latest trends.

The interview:
Kassi received her iPhone for Christmas. She uses her phone daily and says it is always attached to her hand. The only time she is without it is when she is showering. Kassi normally carries her phone in her bag or pocket. She has bought a cover for it to protect it from wear and tear. Her phone is used as an iPod as well as a phone. Therefore she doesn't have to fight with multiple objects as she is walking down the street or going anywhere. It is convinent.


After hearing Kassi's input of her iPhone, it doesn't seem like such a bad thing to have. She hasn't had too many problems with it, and they way she talked about everything being combined into one portable item made it seem really convinent. I'm glad I had the opportunity to hear someone's side of the story who actually enjoys their iPhone.
