ah, but one must consider whether out of gas or flat tire or lost is a life-or-death emergency, or if the generations of people before us have managed without the convienence of just picking up a phone. A flat tire is only an emergency if you've got two. Otherwise you just don't know how, and that's your fault: did cell phones make us too lazy to learn, or too lazy to do the work? and running out of gas is our fault: did cell phones make us too ignorant to check our fuel gage and too lazy to walk to get some gas?
