I CAN HEAR IT!!

An interesting article in today's NY Times talked about how high school kids use a "safe" cell phone ring tone for catching text messages in classroom. The ring tone is "safe" because it's essentially such a high pitch sound that the teacher, if at a not-so-young age, wouldn't hear.

Human nature prompted me to click the mp3 file loaded on the NY Times website. I have to admit the "safe" ring tone is annoying to me - it is indeed like a mosquito! But on the bright side, I'm quite glad I can hear it.

When I start the b school in fall 2007, I'll be over 30 years old. Maybe I can say I'm not that old yet, and I won't have to prove it by joining in every beer-pong parties, because I can hear the ring tone. :o)
