Technology Benefits

Just had an amusing case of passing a message along electronically at the Telco conference I am at.

A journalist wanted to take a outside of the guest from British but didn't want to be disruptive by going up the front to ask him. So he IMs me to ask if I could text message a colleague sitting next to the BT speaker, asking him to show message to the person on his right asking if he could come outside for a photo. Thanks to silent ring modes, it got through, saw the cell phone get handed over to the BT speaker, and IM'd back to the journalist that he would be outside shortly for the photo.

A small thing, but quite amusing for some reason.
