Dinosaur in the City

I was disappointed to learn last night that Carrie Bradshaw does not text! She may be wearing this season's handbag and the newest edition of Manolos... but being with the times does not extend to all areas.

You would think this Manhattanite with her busy professional writing career, love life, shopping trips, nights out with the girls, and time for personal upkeep- that this would be the profile of a texter. But no.

She admits in the movie that she is neither privy to they ways of texting, nor managing her own website, (not to mention blocking emails from a certain "someone." )

Carrie Bradshaw= NY's last single dinosaur?

Perhaps her "over 40" status is the culprit? Did she miss the SMS window?

Now Samantha on the otherhand, is, as SITC fans know, wise in the ways of the bedroom, and now seemingly in the new media world. Equipped with her iPhone, she works wirelessly, jetsetting from LA to the Big Apple, managing her tanned model boyfriend. She is a walking, talking business- and an endorser the new technology.

"Meanwhile in lower Manhattan," Carrie admits she does not know how to use the iPhone...

and therefor I have concluded that she most likely has dial-up.
