#52: Flying cell phones
Work bit 1: People always leave cell-phones on by mistake. So, if cell phones in aircraft are really dangerous, they would be band outright. The truth is that cell phones interfere with mobile networks on the ground, not with aircraft navigation systems.
Work bit 2: Next year many airlines will introduce in-flight calling. At that stage all concerns about aircraft safety will disappear at the prospect of airlines getting a cut of the sky-high calling charges.
Work bit 3: Talking about cell phones. What’s the most annoying thing about them in the workplace? Apparently, it’s the different ring tones. Your colleagues wish your phone merely rang like a telephone, instead of sounding off like an MP3 player gone wild.
Work bit 4: As for sounding off, Plato once said that wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something.
