What is mobile number?
Funny how common its become, asking someone for their cell number. Belonging to the era where there was life before cellphones (damn! getting old, people!), it used to be a big thing to have one. As much of a wonder as it was to have one back in the day, it would be more of a shocker if someone doesn't have one today. And the early ones were huge - nearly walkie talkies. But now, small is the new big, I guess. Well, in most cases, at least.
According to Deloitte & Touche, there are 2 billion cell phone subscribers in the world. (2006)
In other news, paranoia is a cheap thrill in today's world. Shockingly easy how simple it is to stall thousands of lives and irk millions of minds, by a threat, capitalizing on the potential of paranoia. Living in fear is a dangerous thing, and no one knows that better than New Yorkers who still shudder each time a plane grinds the air in Lower Manhattan. Well, at least there's no shortage of places to numb the pain.

Do you know that Taiwan and Luxemborg are two countries where the number of cellphones exceeds the number of people in the country? Sad innit?
