Hi Friends,
“People in the 1870’s managed living on whatever floor you live on, without cell phones.”
Will a human die without a cell phone? No, thats a stupid question. There are lots of things a human could survive without. Let’s pick one, how about Modern English. Can a human survive if they are must rely on the older technology of Middle of Old English? Sure, infact take away language all together they could still survive. But your not going to get anything done. You’re going to be walking around speaking like Boewulf and no ones going to understand you.
Or to put it a better way, after Ike, my largest client’s email server wouldn’t come backup. So they had a couple hours where they had no email. The entire business came to a screeching halt. I was chatting with the office admin and she wondered how they ever did it before email and blackberrys and such. To which one of the project managers replied: “Because the expectations are different. We used to have 2 weeks to get a quote in, now we have 2 hours.” Well society has changed (for better or worse) and expectations are different. I know, personally, I hate dealing with people that have no cell phones. I just can’t get a hold of them when I need to.
