I was a ludite for years.....then my mother, god bless her, got a Verizon family plan and sent my brother, his daughters, his wife and me motorola phones.
My kitchen does not have a landline....catering offsite events, directing stages, working early hours at the market all pulled at me to use the phone....but I find that when I travel on empty expressways is when I use it to catch up. The worst thing to discover is that I can listen to e-mails via the phone.
Though i am not adverse to turning off landlines, cell phones and gasp....yes computers to have quiet time....you don't have to always be readily available.
And I do stay in contact more with my eldest cherub because of cell phones. |
