I love technology!



What happens when Jeremy wins a prize on the radio, Christine tries to leave him a message about it, and his cell phone converts the voice mail into a text message?  See below.

Text conversion =
Hey Frank is too large pepperoni pizza crazy Brett a crazy dizzy Roxanne at you later pop that’s what be bit too much family was wondering if we could eight get somebody else to invite to come with us and if you then place so call me back when you get this message thanks bye

Actual message =
Hey! Your prize is two large pepperoni pizzas, a crazy bread, a crazy dipping sauce, and a two liter of pop.  That sounds like a bit too much for our family. So I was wondering if we could think of somebody else to invite to come with us and decide on the place. So call me back when you’re done with lunch.  Thanks bye.

Awesome right?  The text is EXACTLY what I said! Not!  

Our cell phone plan is trying to get us to use a voicemail to text conversion service.  Christine opted out, but Jeremy's phone just started doing it.  He can still hear the original message - thank goodness - but now he gets an “awesome” text message for each voicemail he receives.  Where would we be without technology?

Oh that's a good laugh. Technology is NOT all it's cracked up to be, people are still better than a computer huh. Hope you enjoyed the pizza prize, sounds delicious!
