Talk about putting fear in everyone to make them buy more junk they ALREADY have because that's exactly what that type of thinking is. Advertisers are good at creating a need BEFORE there's a demand to get consumers thinking maybe they don't have everything they need and make them feel inadequate. First of all, we don't even need cell phones to start with. All you need is a prepaid emergency cell and keep it in your car for emergencies and that's it. As far as people contacting you, people back then only had home phones with message boxes. I mean, do we really need to be bothered 24/7 as if our job isn't enough to keep us busy, to also be distracted by incoming senseless calls from friends and family and on top of that also sells reps? If it's an emergency, send me an email because it's just as fast as we al have computers with internet and check it every hour. So the idea of need multiple handsets because one doesn't do everything is just plain ridiculous like that iPhone with internet- why strain my eyes when I have a nice 24" monitor to surf the web? Give me a break. Huckberry juice I say. Talk about putting fear in everyone to make them buy more junk they ALREADY have because that’s exactly what that type of thinking is.

I'm all about convergence. When I bought my iPhone, I was able to get rid of my iPod nano, phone, and sidekick. Although the sidekick was better for texting/IM, I would never want to carry around a second phone again. I’ve gone in the opposite direction. I’m all about convergence.
