Cell phones had arrived on the scene and Motorola had progressed from the large somewhat “banana” looking device to the first “flip” phone. While air time was still pricey, this brought a whole new look and practicality to the cell phone and a new focus to my electronic organizer. I started a more diligent process of entering my contact information from my Franklin Day Planner
to the contact section of my Palm Pilot. Having phone numbers in my shirt pocket while I was away from my desk saved many steps back to the office and much time. Phone numbers in the shirt pocket and a portable phone on my belt - this was a very portable office set up!
It was impressive to have contact information – multiple phone numbers for vendors and sales persons, crew foremen and supervisors, family and friends all in that shirt pocket. It also had all of my meeting and appointments complete with an audio alarm to signal the upcoming appointment with enough time to arrive early. The phone at my side was also handy – somewhat bulky but very convenient and time saving. It was a challenge to hold the Palm Pilot in one hand and the Motorola flip phone in the other, look up the contact information in one hand and then try to dial the phone number with the other hand. Still, this was a very nice and progressive set up which I enjoyed. This was a real portable extension of my office! What would they think of next?
The four features of my digital personal assistant: Contacts, Calendar, Tasks and Notes had really moved me forward into a new word of electronic organizers. All this with along with my actual portable cell phone.
