The ad included a steam engine, a space rocket and several other things I can’t recall, but it ended with a smart phone. My phone reminds me so much of my years of smoking cigarettes. Now, replace the words cigarettes and smoking with phones or some form of using a phone. Instead of phones coming after the progress of trains and rockets, the phone should come after a parade of opium, alcohol and cigarettes.
