Most of the times I come across reams of paper written about the utility of cell phones. Shashi Tharoor wrote something about that in Toilet Times. Don’t ask me why I was reading Toilet Times. I was experimenting with blocking content on that site.

When man invented a wheel, he discovered uses for it. Similarly, the cellphones have been put to various uses depending on the way a community discovers and adapts the need for it. Mobile phones are becoming popular for the FM radios because they had a need for it. The time of gazing starry eyed at this contraption is long gone. Only Times of India can afford to pay for these morons.
