It's a little bit nuts but when going out yesterday evening we got about a block away from the house when I realized I didn't have my cell phone.
Now, a few years ago, who cares? I wouldn't have given leaving it at home a second thought and in some cases would have done so on purpose. But not last night. I found myself driving back to retrieve it.
I got to thinking today about that event: Are we as individuals too dependent on our cell phones? If you discover yours is not with you, do you get nervous, even just a little or antsy?
I ask this even if you're with others who do have their phones, so it's not like you're outside of any ability to communicate in an emergency or whatnot.
I'd ask if your iDevice/cell phone is counted among your favorite possessions, but that's for another day.
