I won’t tell a sole.

You made me think of the first cell phone I did have. It was the latest, top of the line model – courtesy of the T&E from the folks at the firm I referenced above, Oppenheimer. It was about 12 inches square, weighed less than 3 POUNDS and secured neatly in the trunk of the car – with the hand set anchored to a holder in the passenger compartment. Of course when you wanted to go somewhere other than the car “all” you had to do was take the unit out of the trunk, plug the handset from the holder into the unit, take a Tylenol for the soon to be ensuing pain in the arm/butt and away you went!

As for your thought re location tracking, I searched ‘salesman location tracking’ found this: Traveling Salesman Mobility Model, got really frightened, and immediately closed the browser tab.

I pity the corporate minions of today – soon their location will even be tracked. Sometimes, there are unintended consequences of technology – in this case a human cost. I think corporate workers especially are subject to way too much technological connection with their employers.
