Me too!

Besides, the cord is too short to reach the driveway. :-)

 That is the key to history. Terrific energy is expended -- civilizations 
are built up -- excellent institutions devised; but each time something goes 
wrong. Some fatal flaw always brings the selfish and cruel people to the top, 
and then it all slides back into misery and ruin. In fact, the machine conks. 
It seems to start up all right and runs a few yards, and then it breaks down.

No, no, no! People use their cellphones for everything *except* making 
phone calls. They text, or email, or tweet, or listen to music, or watch 
videos, or use apps instead.


I'm reminded of a Dilbert cartoon, where he's showing off his new 
smartphone. "This does text, and this gets on the web, and this is for 
the weather, this is for video, this tracks your location, and this 
checks your blood pressure... and this enters a phone number; I wonder 
what that's for?"
