Colin and/or Michele write(s), "Among the things I love most about our getaway place in Newfoundland is its relatively unmediated state: there's no landline, no cable, no internet and, best of all, there is no mobile phone access within 20 kilometers. It is like a small liberation to be able to get out and about without seeing people everywhere with their heads buried in a phone and, especially, to be free from being hostaged to conversations." And I thought, as I read this, "it's funny - I feel this way about cars." But there's no escape from cars - and nobody seems to care. I suppose it's a matter of perspective, but I don't get why people who tolerate cars (and the sound of internal combustion in general) get upset over mobile phones.
