What happened when the $10 electronic calculator arrived in the 1970s? Mental arithmetic went out of the window.
What happened when the iPhone arrived? Conversation stopped. Girls dubbed the iPhone 'the new den' for men. Stuck4Words revives the art of conversation for iPhone-users Based on thousands of pub conversations, ruminations and ramblings, Stuck4Words eases you back into the pleasures of human-to-human interface when the thrill of the human-to-machine liaison starts to wane. We've all suffered Sticky Moments. Words elude us. We can't think of anything to say. Like lemons we are struck dumb. Toe-curling embarrassment takes hold. Remember those first dates? You asked her out because she looks great. Suddenly you're struggling to talk to a stranger. Or take the Office Party. You need to be sociable but mustn't be offensive. Or the Aged Relative? How do you maintain a sticky conversation with a much older relation? And the Dinner Party. How do you appear bright, interesting, aware, switched-on? Stuck4Words saves you from these Sticky Moments. Fire it up and you get a conversational suggestion with a few threads for developing the discussion. If unsuitable, a touch will bring up another, and another and another. Most suggestions are for general use, but some are for specific Sticky Moments: the Dinner Party, Christmas, First Date, Work or Office Party, Partner or Spouse, Older Person, encounters in the bar and pub. Stuck4 Words has conversational openings for Sticky Encounters of the Third Kind when that little fella with an aerial on his head turns out to be an alien. Stuck4Words is a new life-style genre: Social Lubrication. Stuck4Words depends for its development on you. Please email us ideas for new Sticky Moments, and new conversational Social Lubricants at Ideas@Stuck4WordsApp.com Requires iPhone OS 3.1.2 |
