Catching up with technology

So, recently I decided to join the rest of the world and get an iPhone. I was so excited. Now I can search the web, update my facebook, take pictures, and play games. Obviously i needed this phone. The main reason to having a phone is making calls and texting. These are the only two things i struggle with when using my phone, yet they are the most important features. Most of the time I am texting on my phone, I feel like it is trying to write its own texts. The predictive texting throws me off every time. I have come to the conclusion that I have just not caught up to this form of technology. And i better catch up before i wont know how to use a phone at all!
