Mobile Phones

[Mortblanc]

Just seems a bit off the wall to embrace one technology freely and reject another out of hand.

You will do e-mail, but not on the phone. Wi-fi is ok, even though it is wireless communication that can be intercepted. You will accept money sent by electronic transfer, but not send it or transfer it on-line and you will place boundaries on your communication with loved ones based on your distrust of one system while using an equally corrupted method freely.

You do realize that your land line telephone conversation goes to microwave on the system ASAP?

Reminds me of the religious sect we have over here called the Amish. The more strict sects reject all technology. No cars or trucks, not even a bicycle, no electricity in their homes, no indoor plumbing, no land line telephones, no radio or TV and they do not allow themselves to be photographed. Some will not even allow glass in the windows of their 1 horsepower buggies.

They say this separates them from the "English", which is mandatory for salvation.

Guess what they do allow?

Computers and smart phones!

They view them as a necessary means of engaging in business and making a living.
