1. To save a damsel in distress: It was 3am and Nicole got locked out of her apartment. She had no choice but to call 911 for help. Five minutes later an NYPD policeman came with his most powerful weapon. No. Not a gun, but an iPhone. Excited to help a lady in trouble, he pulled out his versatile weapon and located a locksmith within 3 minutes. Number of casualties: 0. A happy ending? No doubt.
2. To avoid dirty looks: Alessandra was tired of getting dirty looks from her 13-year-old teenage daughter every time she surprised her with her latest find. The solution? She now takes pictures of every item she considers buying her fashion-forward teenage diva. The result: Extra credit for her and the title of coolest mom.
3. To give romance a chance: Christine has been divorced for 2 years. Raising 6-year-old Bianca and 8 year-old Gilda is more than a handful. But thanks to text messaging, she gets to squeeze a provocative exchange of messages with her newfound catch. Who knew a 40-year old could brim like a teenager all over again???
4. To turn car trips into a game of seduction: Simone and Enrico travel often for his job, and she happily joins him for the ride. Their preferred method: the car. They’re favorite past time: to one-up each other. Thanks to Internet access on their blackberries, they can argue, guess and bet one another on whatever issues crosses their way. The arbiter: Wikipedia.
5. For free publicity: Steven is a savvy car-racer, weekend DJ and self-promoter. His most successful method of publicity: the answering machine! “If you can get a person’s attention, don’t waste your time!” he says. Steven is a charming boy who gives out his number freely and gets many calls a day. Instead of stating the usual: leave your message after the beep, he prefers to inform callers of his latest appearances: “I will be DJ’ing at T35 tonight, hope to see you there...” Slick, but clever.
Truth: Cell phones have a way of creeping into our lives making it more eventful, surprising and, if we try hard enough, creative!
