Well, Bjorn – thanks for the comment and dropping by.

Perhaps I should have said “representative of societal change”. The fact is that this kind of use of technology would have been unimaginable 10 years ago (and maybe 5 years ago).

So IMHO, that represents societal change.

If you disagree, what do you thing represents societal change?

“societal change”?

I don’t really see how people planning their secret sexcapades on a mobile instead of from a phone booth is a “societal change”.

Maybe – depends on the person I suppose.

I think we sometimes forget how untechnical the vast majority of people actally are. So changing Sims isn’t really something they’d feel comfortable with.

I read recently that 70% of Excel users don’t know that you can use it to add up columns/rows. They just use it to make figures look pretty

Not wanting to be a killjoy, but isn’t the presence of an unexplained new phone in your car/briefcase a bit of a giveaway?

Surely a better move would be to buy a different SimCard – much easier to hide.
