Flow My Thoughts, The IT Professor Said

Silent Ringing

Examination of how mobile telephony has changed the way we live and work. As someone who Thinks Bad Thoughts towards anyone using a mobile phone in public, and who would rather be skinned and salted alive than actually carry one of these beastly contraptions, the position on mobile InterNet interaction discussed here certainly tempts.

I am fond of saying that if they come up with a chip implant to allow direct interation with the Net, I will happily plunk down the cash to have one -- the Net is simply my favourite indoor activity. Those who cannot make it an outdoor activity are seen as quaintly excluded by the author of this article: "citizens of another country" which one might visit, but not live for an extended time.

Obviously, millions of people think like this. For my money, these millions of people are, essentially, wrong. I want to be able to get away from the Net and connectivity -- so why should I pay for a device which makes this more difficult?
