Help?

So what do you do when technology isn't on your side? When all of your efforts seem futile because the J-School server refuses to accommodate you? Well, there really isn't anything you CAN do because technology has a mind of its own and hates you right when you need it the most.

Thoughts?

Creepy or cool?

Cell phones are constantly changing, case in point:

A new device for cell phones brings up a map that allows users to locate thier friends and family, and anyone else that you creepily have the number of, with the touch of a button...

"Hey, I see you're at Starbucks. I'll meet you there in 5 minutes!"

"Oh, you're at the library? I thought you said you were studying at home?!"
