Unique Passenger

I love technology

While traveling halfway across the country earlier this month I was waiting in line to board the aircraft and watching the disembarking passengers as they filed past. A group of three young women had apparently sat together and become friends during the previous leg of my airplane's journey. They were saying their farewells to one another and making a show of truly having enjoyed the last several minutes spent in each other's company. When one of the girls encouraged another to keep in touch, her newfound friend responded "I'll write you. I've got your..." At this point she ceased vocalizing, pointed to the cell phone in her pocket and mouthed the words "email address." This, I imagine, was an apparent attempt to prevent her companion from becoming the unwitting recipient of acres of spam. In the future, whenever I am spoken to, I certainly hope not to hear any reference to my email address.
