Cell phone ownership hits a milestone:
Somewhere on the planet today someone will skip over pages of fine print they will later regret not reading – and thumb their nose at the risk of a phone exploding – in order to sign a mobile services contract that will bring the worldwide number of such accounts to 3.3 billion, a figure roughly equal to half the Earth’s population.
And they’re all talking while driving on the Beltway.
That is an amazing statistic. And also an amazing commentary on the communications revolution.
