Peter: What are you doing?
Jason: Writing a program to have the computer dial a particular phone number every 30 seconds.
Peter: Interesting. I guess you heard I wanted to get a pager.
Jason: Try to find one that beeps really loud.
@cdedward — d’accord! I fully believe that quite a number of people would voluntarily have cell phones surgically implanted in them if they were offered the chance.
I predict that they will add 3 digits to our social security numbers and make that a communications link for the chip that will be surgically implanted in every new baby.
Question - does it make any difference if it is done by a company or the government?

Ladyfingers said: “Yeah, pagers ARE so 20th Century. I wouldn’t be surprised if cellphones, Blackberries, iphones, etc. will become obsolete.”
with technology it’s not a question of “if” but of “when”.
