The article “No Verizon, Not Antenna, is iPhone 4‘s Big problem”, quite frankly states exactly what the title describes. The top reason the demand for the iPhone 4 is so low is not because of the widely known antenna problem, but the fact that you cannot have Verizon Wireless’ phone service on it. The competition in the world right now is impeccable. Something as miniscule as a slower internet connection, maybe even by a second or two, can change a companies profits by millions, or even billions of dollars. 20 more calls dropped than Verizon can be the difference of thousands of families having food on their table or not.
Perfection is an almost unattainable trait, yet the world today thrives off the thought that someday it may be possible, and we want to be the first. To a certain extent, yes, this helps in our capitalistic economy, but how much is too much? Should people be stressed out all the time trying to do an internet search .68 seconds faster than their competition? How much farther will it get them in life? I think we need to stop fussing over fractions of seconds, and focus on the big picture. We need to stand together and fix what really needs fixing.
