People don't get cell phones to keep things simple, but I love the simplicity of not having to plan my day ahead of time.

- RyanMcGreal 17y agoThere seems to be a sharp generational inflection point between older people who make prior plans, and younger people who arrange things on the fly with their call phones. I must confess to be a member of the former set.
- mquander 17y agoI suspect that this largely depends on who you talk to, at least as much as it depends on age. I'm pretty young and I have a cell phone and I plan everything a total of about an hour in advance; if it involves me driving a few hours or involves me herding other people, I might or might not plan it a day in advance. However, I know other people in my peer group who plan all kinds of things weeks or months in advance, and ask me every time about those things, leaving me to shrug haplessly.
