Mobile Phones

[MaryN]

I think the point is that the technology is there, but you are not obliged to use it if it makes you feel uncomfortable, and no-one should have the right to force it on you. If my family and friends wish to contact me I have a landline and answerphone - use it or not, it's up to them. I don't feel unloved or forgotten - far too busy and I have a life. I also have a nice little programme on my computer that allows me to read any incoming mail before it reaches my inbox, I can let it though; blacklist it; block it or bounce it. I allow no automatic anything if I can avoid it, and that's not because I don't like technology - it's very clever - I simply choose not to embrace all of it. Am I a Luddite? Mmmm.... possibly.
