Genevieve Bell has a message for technologists who espouse the self-serving view that the more cell phone, laptops and other gizmos we integrate into our life the happier we'll be: people often get fed up.

...well, DUH!! I think I could've told you that years ago...

*raises hand* must say I have thrown my cell phone more than once

Maybe we should call you Naomi Campbell instead?

I once had a Motorola RazR and while the design was drop dead gorgeous the firmware was written by monkeys on crack.
I never had a phone that had such an illogical menu structure, Mr. Spock himself would turn into an insane fruitcake if he ever would attempt to adjust the time on the Moto.

*sigh* another dream shattered.....

I am still waiting for the cell phone sized computer with a holographic screen and laser projected keyboard. A device like that could replace a myriad of devices. All of them in fact.

edit: the technology already exists, they just need to miniaturize it and throw it all togather
but it wont be for a good 10-15 years
