OUR reliance on mobile phones almost left the State Opposition’s education spokesman stranded in Pakenham.
Nick Wakeling popped into the Star News Group office last week, apologising for not calling to warn he’d arrive a few minutes late.
His newly replaced phone touch screen had thrown in the towel, leaving him unable to make calls – or find his way to his next appointment.
Luckily the Gazette team was able to fill him in on the best route to Bayles.
Mr Wakeling’s assistant called the Star office to check on him when she was unable to reach him on his mobile, and later advised he’d reached out to her using iPhone personal assistant Siri.
How did we survive before Siri came into our lives?
