I agree with the tenor of this article.
I barely use my cell phone. I don’t want to be interrupted from doing my work or being focused in meetings with others. I call out but hardly anyone calls me in.
I am old school that way. I think many people will start to use their phones in this manner. We are always connected by online media. Why do we have to be always connected by audio, too?
“The more sophisticated the machine, the more barbaric the worker.”
I had one of those ”Aha moments” last week. I was at an airport and went through security. I had an iPod with Bose headphones; a cell phone; a Treo to do AOL email; a Kindle to read; and a Sony laptop with wireless modem. I had five chargers with me. When I checked into my hotel room, I ended up using three different sockets to recharge my devices. My briefcase weighs a ton. My doctor believes this is how I got tennis elbow from carrying my bag with my left arm.
I now have to check my three offices for voicemail messages; my Caps account for email; my AOL account for email; my Facebook account for email; I get messages on AIM and on Facebook; and I get messages on my cell phone.
What have we done to ourselves? 
I found this to be interesting news. I certainly don’t need to keep upgrading my cell phone on an ongoing basis. Check out this article.
