Do you drive your car without a spare? Do you travel with an "exact" amount of clothes? When you camp, do you only bring barely enough food (without the chance to buy more)? Do you leave your credit and debit cards at home once you have what you perceive to be enough cash on you for the day?
If nothing else, the lack of hostile technology allowed us to live with "just" a landline for quite a while. Why forego having a backup system now?
And on that note, what does that make people who have landlines AND cellphones?
EDIT - do you work in IT at all? If you did, you'd know that backups are LIFE. And your job. And your job depends on you doing your job.
If I carry a cell this weekend when I normally don't, just because we're travelling, does that make me paranoid and that I really shouldn't have a cell? Should I just resign myself to walking everywhere for help if we break down?
I'm not really trying to be an ass, but do you see what I'm saying?
