@atomicpoet I'll share my story.
For years I resisted getting a cell phone. I'd been responsible for 227 on a corporate account and it bordered on traumatic. But I finally broke down during a job search as I needed to be reachable.
Got a voice message from a former boss lecturing me on the "responsibility" of having a mobile phone and how I should always answer promptly, not let it go to voice mail. I was being irresponsible!
I was on a call about a job interview when he called.
