Tech - don't you hate it?

As I sat down at Starbucks this morning, my mobile rang. It was one of my kids' friends' moms. (Let's call her Carole).

"So, are you on your way to do carpool," she asked me. I was surprised, as I was downtown, at least an hour's drive away from anything carpool-related. I pinched myself - "Carpool?", I muttered angrily, questioning myself.

I asked Carole to hold while I called my wife dreading what she's day. "Had I dropped the ball? Had she dropped the ball"

After 30 seconds with my wife on the phone, she too knew nothing about either of us and carpool.

I got back to Carole to give her the news - my heart palpitating. She was chuckling heartily. So, what happened?

She had used voice activated dialling, saying to her mobile, "Call John!"
The (dumb) phone called me instead of the other John, Carole's carpool buddy.
