SIM
Cards
Most
sensitive port once one removes a back cover of a cellphone is the
SIM port.
Its
design leaves no margin of error.
One
needs (finger nails are not strong enough) delicate manipulation.
One
who used to do cut down on neonates in Ceylon (before fine needles
came into existence) could not master it in my twilight years.
Even,
the Telecoms guy (half my age) could not do it in my presence.
He
had to go inside and get some help from one who was adept at fine
instruments (my first SIM, relatively big compared to ones that are
in use today; It was a highly manipulative skill or act).
I
have now mastered it with the help of a safety pin, that ladies use.
Certainly
a pin won’t be of help but a opened up safety clip would.
These
things are now technically called life hacks.
My
current problem is not manipulation but vision which is getting dull,
day by day.
After
effect is lot of Typos and my early retirement from digital work.
I
am still adept at NOT touch typing but the age old K.(o), K.(o)
System (where is the key syndrome, the misplaced key) with the
typewriter; The vision come secondary.
I
am very bad at keys (car key syndrome).
There
is a simple computer remedy.
Increase
the font size to your needs.
One
does not have to be a “techy’ but improvise simple common sense
solution.
The
bottom line is one gets a new cellphone get a guy (not on the
counter, counter guys are not techys but tricksters par excellence
-hoodwink you in seconds-who sell cheap stuff to gullible and stupid
customers!) to install it.
Do
not try to reinstall it but ask for downloads which go cheap by
Rs.100/= and you have to wait over the counter which I hate.
That is
why I say do not have a cellphone but a land phone.
