Remember when cell phones were like bricks and they cost $850? Now they're slender and smooth like little skipping stones. They only cost $25 and they include MP3, GPS, a 6 megapixel camera, video and everything else you can think of. Set phasers to stun.
Remember when you didn't have a cell phone? Remember when you made dinner plans with a friend and you actually showed up on time. Or you stopped at the store on the way home, selected a flavor of ice cream and rented a movie based on your own decision making skills with no phone-a-friend support. Or you went for a walk without any possible access to your email or voicemail or text messages.
I was on an an elevator recently with a few people. It stopped on a floor, the doors opened and a woman got on and said to another woman, "did you get my email?"
the other woman said nothing, didn't even look up, pulled out her blackberry, scrolled through a huge list of emails and then said "yes, I got your email, at 11:47" end of conversation. No content. No eye contact. No substance. What's the point? why did they even try to talk to each other? keep it e.
They had it all figured out on Star Trek.
