Did you take the chance to be human?
So yesterday, All Blackberry communications in the US and Canada were down. I didn’t notice.
I loathe Blackberry. It’s all so very cyber-RFID-chipthekids-trackeveryone. It’s Orwellian, without the charm. Because Blackberry is trendy, people suffer no compunctions about being hooked up to one of these things. It reminds me of the early days when pagers were the cool thing. The other day, I passed a kid wearing either a BlackBerry or - more likely - a ‘toy’ earpiece. If this kid was older than 10 years of age, I’ll paint my nails neon green. Why, on god’s green earth, would someone consent to be at 24/7 beck and call of their employers? If you aren’t doing a job upon which lives depend, put down the phone and step away from the workplace for at least 10 hours a day.
