In fact, I know of one senior director that has decided to go it alone and is at this very moment using his smart phone and tablet as his very own Miss Moneypenny. Are our senior director’s really going to take that search result and book the restaurant themselves as an example and how do they know this restaurant is even any good? .

Sometimes I wish I had something to warn me when I am with someone with a cell phone so I can know that we are going to be interrupted. I find it frustrating when people either text while in a conversation or are constantly taking phone calls. Apparently not, when its by phone. In an emergency, the cell phone is a useful tool.
