Douglas Coupland on today's technology

I remember in the 80s when cellphones first started to pop. I remember how, if you saw someone using a cellphone on a street, you immediately thought they were an asshole: gee, my phone call is so important I have to make it right here and right now!

I just like how they used to be really big to emphasize how big an asshole those people were. Zack Morris had a pretty sweet cell phone that was the size of a fax machine.

I think I'm the last American south of 62 years old that doesn't own a cell phone. But I don't hold everyone that owns a cell with contempt. Except for that asshole that rear ended me while on his phone.
