   Oh, I don't know about that... I can think of many times when I have had   
   a great deal of difficulty communicating with someone via cellphone, e.g.,   
   when one of us was near the edge of a reception zone, was inside an   
   especially metalliferous building, or simply was running low on batteries...   
   So in fact, new technologies like cell phones provide people with all sorts of   
   entirely new ways to Fail to Communicate --- why, just look at usenet !!!  ;-I
