I pretty much shared your feelings until 9/11. I worked in NYC and was in
there that day (on 13th street). Going home, I was able to communicate with
family via my manager's blackberry but it made me realize that it just might
be a good idea to carry a cell phone. Yes I know, they were pretty much
useless that day as all the circuits were extremely jammed. However, it did
come in very handy during the blackout, which I was in the city for once
again. I do realize, though, that are some places they should be put on
silent, or turned off all together out of respect for others around. I just
wish certain people would realize this.
