Telephony Anytime, Anywhere - Instruction Book Required

Like it or not, mobile cellular phones and their owners have become part of the landscape, and to paraphrase Pogo, "We have met the enemy, and it is the loudmouthed cellular user." Author Peter Laufer to the rescue: "People jut need to use common sense." Through historical context, New Yorker cartoons, and interesting anecdotes, Laufer points out the impact that the use of phones in certain environments, such as crowded elevators, may have. Technology of developers faster than its users do - hence the need to bring the issue of cellular phone courtesy to the forefront of dinner-table conversation and water-cooler banter.We liked this book enough to name it a VB:Book-of-the-Week in our weekly e-mail technology briefing, VB:TechWatch.
