I do not have a cell phone but would love to have something as awesome as the iPhone in my pocket… multitouch has amazing potential. Just think of the uses in geography, math, or science? Instead of banning cell phones, we should be encouraging their productive use. When asked to find the population of Spain, students could whip out their cell phones and send an SMS to 466453 (Google). Within seconds, they have the answer back. Compare that to the days when you must find an expensive reference book, flip through it, find Spain, and find the population - only to realize it is 5 years outdated. Enjoy the wonders of the iPhone! Unfortunately, AT&T doesn’t serve Vermont, so I won’t be getting an iPhone anytime soon…
