“Some places it seems like the whole friggin’ populace has their nose in a mobile phone.
What the hell are they doing?”
If it’s me on the road, I’m checking, answering, or creating an email, arranging schedules for meetings including telepresence or virtual meetings, straightening out travel itineraries, authorizing fund transfers, reading technical abstracts, skimming reports, looking for a restaurant, and seeing the latest episode of Questionable Content. And sometimes using GPS.
Well, then you’re a deadbeat. Go back to the 1980s usage of cell phones. Anything more than that, and you’re a zit on society’s ass. Or so many on FR seem to think.
