The Times escape a storey today about people they ( somewhat queerly ) call “ Refuseniks ” : Those who refuse to get cellular phone not due to terms but to a moral stance . Unsurprisingly , it ’s not of necessity the most practical selection , even for them .
These Refuseniks ( which have nothing to do with theSoviet Jewsto whom this term is usually practice ) unremarkably summon the always - approachable outcome of carrying a cellular phone as their main reasonableness for defy to practice one , but sometimes you want to be connected . Jenny Catsos hang into this category , but order a tarradiddle in which a cell would have made her life an awful mass easier : Her gondola broke down on the interstate on the agency to surprise her Father-God , and it took her hours to contact someone she know .
But the best story in the article has to be that of Linda Mboya . Her acquaintance survive on the top floor of a building with a expose bell . So to countenance her friend know she ’s go far , “ Ms. Mboya makes disturbance to disturb the dogs who last on the first floor , who then bark and announce her reaching to her friend . ” Sort of like that gameboard game Mouse Trap .
I do n’t really have a judgment on those who do n’t have cell — but what about you guys ? Is it o.k. to make yourself unreachable ? [ New York Times ]
