Flash forward to what cellphones have done to our life. Within the space of a few years, overhearing private conversations seems to be normal. Not long ago I was sitting in Boston’s South Station, near a man who was on his cellphone, waiting for my train.
The following is what the man had to say, “Yes, that’s right. The red and yellow roses.” Then he continued to recite his card number and deadline. I stared at the fellow. He glanced at me and asked, “What?” My response was immediate: I recited his card number back to him, along with the deadline.
There is no longer a sense of personal borders or limits. The cellphone has become a megaphone (扩音器), and I have been privy (私下知情) to details of people’s lives that I would rather not know. Maybe phone booths could serve as cellphone harbors today.
