Speed of Time

Cell phones are the bane of my existence. It's not possible to detail why, but my world would be a lot better without them.

I was struck today, however, in witnessing a situation where life is greatly improved by mobile phones. While driving, I came across the scene of an accident just moments after it happened. I pulled to the curb and called 911. Even though less than a minute had transpired, the dispatcher had already heard what had happened and sent an ambulance.

In the old days, notification would have waited much longer until someone found a pay phone.
