Bannish all cellphones, they are the scurge of modern society. No one needs to be available 24/7.🙁

My cellphone has only one purpose - to get this old lady rescued if necessary. It's just an EPIRB for me on country roads, otherwise it's turned off.

Business basically isn't possible without them anymore. Mine is on silent if I need some private time, so I can screen calls.

I like the idea. I have often thought that it's silly that all the energy people put into exercising isn't put into use. Why not do something useful while exercising - load some batteries while jogging or heat up the water for the shower while you are sweating on your training bicycle? It could work as a motivator, too.

What put the idea into my head was a recent New Inventors episode on Aussie TV which involved a bicycle and a cellphone recharger - if you're interested I'll dig it out for you.
