I feel like a dinasaur!  I remember the days when (said with old croaky voice, leaning on my knarled stick, wagging bony finger) , there were no mobiles, no blackberries and my typewriter had a golf ball that made a sound every time I typed a document!

If there was an emergency I either contacted my boss through the company he was visiting or interupted a meeting at the office.  I could always get hold of him one way or another or, where possible, dealt with it myself or got someone else to deal with it.  

I hate mobiles and my kids are always berating me for leaving mine at home.  Mobiles are not the b all and end all!  People can live very fruitful lives without being in contact  24/7.
