The Stone Ages

This past week the honors program from my Uni sent it's engineers to Munich to visit companies.  As the only one currently living in Germany, I was the only one with a German cell phone.  That means the rest of the group had no way of contacting anyone else, except face to face. 


Chaos.


Now I realize of course that people lived like this for millennia, but most of us have been dependent on cell phones for the last few years and it has shaped our social planning.  Everything is impromptu.  If you are running late, it's easy to call ahead and explain.  In short, we've become bad at making and sticking to plans.


I'd say by the end of the week we mastered it though.  More posts coming!
