Cell phones are among those things which are both a blessing and a curse. I have one and certainly use it, even carrying it in the bike bag in case I have to make an emergency call (Help! I've had a flat and can't get up!") or my daughters have one and need to reach me (and yes, that happened once.)

But cell phones become a curse when they overwhelm us and are used without discretion or the slighest concern for people around us.

Email is a blessing and a curse. Instant Messaging the same. Digital photography the same. (Too many cameras where you don't even know they are there!). The list goes on and on.

i just hate when someone else violates my privacy or "personal space" with their decision to use a curse/blessing device "in my face." It always seems like the person who chooses to irritate others gets to do it, and the people who would prefer good old peace and quiet have to suffer. Not always, but almost always. And that bugs the bejesus out of me.
