"The last watch I wore felt like a handcuff. When I need to know the time, I check my cell phone."

Previous Quote

We know that people are less open in conversations if the other conversant puts a cell phone on the table. Even if it's turned off. The sign is enough to close the mind and make a prospective client or lover less likely to do what you ask. As people realize this, they'll start putting away phones or turning them off.
