A chill at the specter of BlackBerry winter
Abstract
THE route of most technology is from "Why would anyone need that?" to "How did I ever live without it?" When Tom Cruise used a
cordless phone in "Risky Business," I remember thinking the device was a gimmick. When the first fax machine was installed near my
desk in the newsroom (one machine, back then, for hundreds of reporters), I thought, "Don't messenger services deliver clearer
copies?" And I was more than a little skeptical (not to mention spooked) when I first heard a car talk and give the driver directions.
