A Pew Internet and American Life Project report is forshadowing the near future where mobile is really the most personal computer.  In a recent report, when asked how hard it would be to give up a specific technology, folks are more likely to say the cellphone would be most difficult to do without, followed by the Internet, TV, and landline telephone.

Backing up the story that we Americans love us some cell phones.  This week whilst watching Celebrity Rehab on Vh1, one of the participants made an interesting statement.  Jessica Sierra, a former American Idol contestant, was presented with a stay at a clean living facility to continue her clean and sober success after graduating from the Pasadena Recovery Center.  Jessica was distraut over the prospect, worried that an extended stay in rehab would interfere with her ability to work, and to EARN MONEY TO PAY HER CELL BILLS.  Here is a cocaine addict who is more concerned with her cell phone than with sobriety OR crack!

Those jokes about the T-mobile SideCrack, and the RIM CrackBerry are not so far off after all.
