A comment following that article from someone named Fernando.  Do we 
know him?
--------------------------------------------------------------------
"Most people" here apparently means a social group of twenty-somethings. 
It certainly doesn't include any of my peers, people who watched the 
first moon walk live. I use a wristwatch because I can't be bothered to 
dig something out of my pocket when all I want is the time. I use a 
standalone alarm clock because it has large numbers that glow all night 
and I can read it in the dark without my glasses. I have landline phones 
because I don't live in a city and the cell reception inside my home is 
poor. The camera in my phone has no optical zoom and performs poorly in 
low light. And I read books on paper because I won't submit to the DRM 
of ebooks.
