My mother and I were talking only on Saturdaythat it's astounding that nobody under the age of 20 is likely to understand the concept of life without a mobile phone and having to relay on public telephones in order to conduct your day to day business when traveling. I got my first 'transportable' ( car phone that allowed you to carry it around with it's nuclear powered rucksack ) phone in around 1984 and there were no 'mobile' phones around then.
apropos of your technology blob.

it must be saidI resent my mobile. Which is why its always either switched off, in my bag or on silent. I think the idea that you can be contacted anywhere at any time is just much too intrusive.
Slowly but surely, we're having all our privacy and quiet technology-free downtime taken away. The technological revolution is wonderful, but also extremely dangerous at the rate its going.

I can't be without mineas its an XDA and serves as my all in one. I can however turn off the phone aspect with a tap of the screen and still surf the net or watch a movie.
