Ever tried working in BigCo since they've been a part of the world for any extended period of time?
I only know one person that successfully lived without a cell phone in the modern world for a while.
- grecy 14y agoI'm a Software Engineer in a company with 500 employees, and I have not had a cell phone for > 7 yeas. Granted, I live in a town of only 40k people, though I previously lived in a city of 1.5Mil, and before that 3Mil, both without a cell. It's extremely liberating.
- Pwnguinz 14y agoI live in the South Bay. I do not have a cell phone. I'm a full stack engineer at a startup that's raised series A--not some grumpy "Get off of my lawn!" grandpa. What urgency is there to need a cellphone for, in most routine days? Sure, it would suck if something horrible happened to a member of my family and I couldn't be contacted until I got home, oh maybe 4 hours later. Short of some such edge case scenarios, "it can wait".
- lurkinggrue 14y agoMy car broke down earlier today and I had to call AAA. Glad I didn't have to get out of my car to contact somebody. This would have been a routine day if I hadn't broke down. Bet you don't own a TV either.
- 16s 14y agoCarry a 2M HT and hit the local repeater when you break down. Give them your position and they'll call a tow truck for you.
- lurkinggrue 14y agoThis is why I come here, for the practical solutions to problems.
- Pwnguinz 14y agoCould you elaborate on this a bit more? What's a local repeater? How do I 'hit it', so to speak, etc?
- Pwnguinz 14y agoI don't drive :). I do not own a TV proper. I own a Sony HMZ-T1 instead.
