These Cellular Telephone Things Are Fantastic

Today, well, today and yesterday, I was traveling and didn't have access to a pen and paper, these are still the things I use for writing down my ideas.  But I didn't have access to them, at that point, so I sent myself a few text messages, and viola!  I had my ideas written down before I could get them to paper.  I can't tell you how many times I 've forgotten something I'm sure was gonna land me a Nobel Prize or something.  Isn't technology great?  On the other hand, I was texting my wife at lunch, and some joker in a suit, who was doing lunges at the bottom of a staircase, started yelling into his phone, about his lunch, like he was important.  Isn't technology stupid?
