With all the cell phone talk, I wonder how we all got along before cell phones. When the kids were younger, and we went shopping at the mall, we had "Meet you at the clock at 4:00." lol. I personally can't wait to get rid of some cell phones. We have 2 personal ones, 2 work ones and a Blackberry. At some point, enough is enough. When I got my Blackberry, I wanted to know only one thing; where the off button was. Technology is supposed to be an aid to living ease. Sometimes I wonder.
What you say reminds me of one of Henry David Thoreau’s quotes in Walden concerning how the railroads were becoming an increasing part of their modern lives: “We do not ride the rails; the rails ride us.”
