You are trying to swim upstream! Look on the positive aspect that for your near and dear ones, you can always be around—whenever they need you–no matter where you are.

As for the negative side, you can’t help it. Einstein gave us a means to harness nuclear energy, and we used it first for Japan’s misery.

You will not be able to turn the clock back!

Even my diehard friends who resisted the mobile phone all along–are now singing praises for it!

Sorry, I will like to be connected–but even then I have a choice when to RESPOND!

Just like tv, the OFF button is always with me–as well as the MUTE button.

Not only are we expected to stay connected, but we're expected to replay immediately. I have steadfastly retained my policy of "I'm not going answer any e-mail faster than I would any snail-mail."
