I don’t know if this is a good sign, a sign of inertia, a sign of snobbishness or for that matter means anything at all! The following three things, once upon a time long long ago, were considered luxuries by me as I could not afford them but now they are luxuries I can afford not to have
#1 Visiting cards
#2 Cell Phone
#3 A notebook computer
Believe me the sky does not fall if you are not carrying any / all of the above – BTW I really liked “Asterix and the Falling Sky”
wow!
have you retired ?
I long for the day when i dont have to pick up the phone or read email.
Re: wow!
Heh! I have not yet retired but the only person I *have to* interact with is my CEO interaction with everyone else is optional.
I don’t have visiting cards or a notebook computer. I have two cell phones, but then I don’t have a landline.
Hmmm… try substituting the cell phones with a wife/girlfriend/partner
The cellphone is how the girlfriend and I keep in touch. Different cities you see.
I know of it – hence my comment
I don’t carry any of the above.
Though it depends on the context I would still say – Consider yourself lucky!
But I still doubt, a computer which is portable makes things smoother. If not a dire necessity.
Being connected is a double edged sword which I do not care to wield
