I used moderation every minute of every day, but I decided to stop using moderation altogether and now I feel immoderate. Regarding cell phones, I haven't carried one for years, since I was a consultant, and it was necessary. People look at me like I am insane, and they cannot imagine how I function in modern society. I am called a Luddite, even though I am far more deeply and enthusiastically involved with technology than they ever will be. Sometimes, trying to arrange spontaneous social gatherings, I wish I had one, but that is rare. I carry an iPad, which does mitigate, since I can exchange texts, and receive voicemail via Google Voice. Primarily, though, I don't feel empowered, but I do feel that my deep indignation of other people's cell phone related rudeness is more pure if I don't carry one. Edit: typos.
