However, those smartphones often make such blatant errors, inputting text that we never intended, that we are tempted to think it&#8217;s a stupid phone, and we want to take it straight to the maker and shove it up his arse.<\/p>\n<p>Here is one such story.<\/p>\n<p>A man texted his neighbor one morning. It read like this.<\/p>\n<p>Hi Mr. Richards, Something has been bothering my mind for some time now and I can&#8217;t keep it in me any longer. I have to confess the truth: I have been using your wife every day when you leave for work without you knowing. I know this is sneaky and terrible of me, but the truth is, I have not been getting any at home for the last few months. That is why I had to resort to this practice. Nevertheless, please let&#8217;s work out a payment plan for this service if possible so I won&#8217;t be using your wife for free or without your permission any more.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Richards, in a deadly rage, picked up his shot gun, stormed over this neighbor&#8217;s house and shot him.<\/p>\n<p>He then went back to his house, picked up his phone and read the final message from Mr. Dixon, &#8220;sorry, my stupid phone&#8217;s auto correct kept changing &#8220;wifi&#8221; to &#8220;wife.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nowadays, there are &#8220;smartphones&#8221; which attempt to predict and correct our text when we type.
