What does your cell phone say about you?
I recently saw an article asking what type of computer the two leading Democratic presidential candidates might be ("Is Obama a Mac and Clinton a PC?", http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/04/technology/04link.html?em&ex=1209614400&en=3303ad0941907a98&ei=5087%0A).
It made me wonder if someone had done the same sort of analysis of cell phones and other wireless communications devices. Sure enough. A casual search produced at least three such personality assessments (below), all with the same title.
The first two articles focus on specific models or brands, the last is more about the style of phone (flip phone, bar shaped phone, etc.).The most detailed analysis is provided in the DigiGirl piece.
Of course, for people with disabilities their cell phones might say even more about the technology they rely on to stay connected. In any case, check out these arm chair psychologist and see if what they say rings true for you.
