Enclaves for the cell-less

ARTICLE: The Cell Refuseniks, an Ever-Shrinking Club, By CLAIRE CAIN MILLER, New York Times, October 22, 2009

I think there will always be a core of 15-20% who don't want the connectivity--anywhere you travel in this world.

Eventually, there will be countries based on this principle--but on a voluntary basis. In effect, vacation spots and resorts are already based somewhat on the idea.

May seem counter-intuitive, but more dense the connectivity, the greater the need for enclaves.

And there's nothing wrong with that.

Love internet access on commercial airlines but not looking forward to cacophony of one-sided verbal conversations.

And the last enclaves will be the book stores! An endangered species!

There are places where communications devices should be banned . . Restaurants, Public Transportation of any kind, Hospitals and Waiting rooms . . We have lost our consideration for the other human in our drive for constant "Connectivity" . .
