Recently, to amuse myself and those in public places, I renamed my iPhone "Mark Twain" and now secretly airdrop Mark Twain pictures to random strangers whenever I am in public places.
I’m not familiar with airdropping, are you saying you can anonymously send pictures to other iPhones without the other party having to accept them? How do you “find” their phone?
For such a kind, loving, sparkly community, surprised at the name calling. By the way, all one needs to do is turn off their airdrop to people not on their contact list. Problem solved.
Samuel Clemens chose Mark Twain for his nom de plume after working on a Mississippi steamboat for a spell. In riverboat parlance, Mark Twain means "at this moment, there are two fathoms of water beneath the boat". A fathom equals six feet.
Air Drop is awesome. I like the idea and may change my name on my phone sometime and send funny positive stuff to folks. You don't have to accept a file sent to you by Air Drop, you can reject it, so really, if someone accepts an image that's their choice.
I use it a lot for scanning stuff with my phone, in particular student work. It's great to be able to scan a kids work in class, send it right away to my computer and project it on the board where we can correct it as a class. Great teaching tool!
If you havent read "the bible according to twain", i cant recommend it enough. His "diaries" of Adam and Eve are hysterical....you may even laugh out freakin loud....
Actually..... my phone is named "schneephone" and I get random shit dropped tome all the damn time because people think its funny. Its been a great way to meet people actaully and a really good distraction for me at times of stress.
