well that's a pretty stupid take on mobiles. not everybody has such a limited boring life as you. weren't mobiles around when I started work, and the first ones were useless. but now they have transformed my industry. being able to photograph something from site to send to a client/supplier, mark it up to what needs clarified. nevermind all the apps availble for recording events and information, access files remotely, theres an absolute tonne of stuff. I used to need a briefcase, pens would run out if ink, wind would blow papers away, now its just all in my phone.
