Yesterday's Blackberry Blackout affected me not at all. Of course, I have expressed my disdain for being constantly plugged in on several occassions. So it should come as no surprise that I greatly enjoyed Long or Short Capital.com's perspective on the whole event:
Long or Short Capital: RIMM Jobbed
If this continues, Blackberry users worldwide will be unable to:
affect the veneer of importance in public
take time off from vacation to stay addicted to work
ignore unwanted conversations at work-related social functions
pay complete inattention during investment meetings
achieve new high scores in Brickbreaker [ed note: 24k, bitches!]
ignore their girlfriends in the name of “last-minute requests from the PM”

I read an article somewhere (I did so - trust me!) that suggested the new power elite would unplug themselves by requiring that their underlings remain connected for them. Shades of the Mentat/advisors from Frank Herbert's "Dune".
The lesson here is that the perpetually wired are merely training themselves to be the indentured lackeys of the new economy overlords.
'Nuff said!
