And a cell phone does what to protect you from these "dangerous times  
we live in."  Not sure where you live, but the only danger I fear are  
the idiots in charge.
To me the cell phone is just a changing of the technology, the cord  
has disappeared. It certainly offers me no more security, and in fact  
may do just the opposite by allowing the cell phone company and any  
one else who is interested, to track my every movement, so security  
is often perceived but not really there.

"Corporation IT members at the recent InfoSecurity Europe exhibition  
regarded smartphones as a growing security risk, with concern higher  
among enterprises with more than 1000 employees (97%) than smaller  
organisations (91%)."

So it's the same old problem, we get the technology, that granted,  
can be used for a better society, but rarely does this happen with  
out just as large of negative impacts on us and our freedooms.
