Cell Phone Culture

Like it or not, cell phones have become an integral part of the urban landscape, seeping into our personal and business lives. On the one hand are those who embrace the technology and can't live with out it and on the other hand are those who get a migraine at the mere sound of a ringtone. Laura's guests are Peter Rojas, Editor-In-Chief of Engadget, co-founder of Gizmodo, and freelance contributor to a number of magazines, including Wired Magazine, the New York Times, Slate, Salon, and The Guardian. Joining Peter is Xeni Jardin, Tech Culture journalist and co-editor of BoingBoing. She is also a contributing writer for Wired Magazine and technology correspondent for NPR's Day to Day. Jardin participated in a documentary on cell phone culture released in 2004 called Celling Out, which accompanied the DVD release of the movie Cellular.
