Technology in the Hospital

While I a setting in the hospital waiting for my grandson to be born, I have noticed how many people have cell phones. I know that this really is not anything new but what I have noticed is how dependent we have become on them. Just try finding a place to charge them. You know that in most hospitals you really can not find a plug in. Cell phones are a necessary part of our lives and without them, we would be lost. But if you are of the age that I am, you remember well the time before cell phones. Not it seems as if life will stop if our cell phones die. I know this sounds funny coming from a "techie" but I miss those days.
