I worry about this...

total accessibility, be it via cell phone or e-mail at 35,000 ft. My last vacation was dampened by beau being completely accessible by Blackberry in a 3rd world country. Where will it end?

Although I work beyond a 40-hour week, I think the line of communications should be drawn somewhere. I liken being on a airplane to being on the bus... no privacy and in very close proximity to a neighbor thay may or may not want to be privy to my (loud) phone coversation/IM/Email tapping. I understand flights cut into productivity hours for many but these acivities aren't always limited to Biz/First class.

I dread the day they allow the use of cell phones on airplanes. It will cut into my movie-watching, scrabble-playing time.
