"Yesterday, at Thursday in the square I was mesmerized by increase in the number of concert goers that were "wired" via cell phones. It appeared extremely ordinary for many people to be talking on the phone during the event, and furthermore, to use the phone to network and locate other people. I think the turnout might be higher, because many people at the events were in essence offering real-time updates to their friends, and coercing them to come down, after the rain cleared, assuring them of a good time and a great band."
The USA is the only place in the "rich" world, and quite a bit of the not-so-rich world, where you could still find such a sweetly wide eyed comment about mobile phones in May 2004.
That one comes from the very nice place-themed (but not place-filtered) shared weblog Elmwood Stip which I just read about on Smart Mobs.
