You'd think punctuality had become passe. After all, we're now a country of perpetual latecomers and, ironically, we have modern technology to thank. How so? Because we have multiple ways to send a "Sorry—be there soon!" message, a lot of the shame we used to feel over wasting someone's time has been removed.
Texting, in particular, offers a perfect way to broker a little leeway. You can relay whatever's holding you up ("Alarm snafu!") without having to hear the annoyance in your pal's voice. And you can pre-apologize for keeping her waiting. "You may have every intention of arriving on time," says William Powers, author of Hamlet's BlackBerry: A Practical Philosophy for Building a Good Life in the Digital Age, "but the presence of a mobile in your purse makes you think it's not a big deal if you're late."
What's the Holdup?
