I am an executive, but I do not use a BlackBerry. Oh, I know such people: I see you in airports, blowsy but serious in rumpled suits, bent frowning over the little screens of your preferred smartphone, thumbs flying over its little keys. I know you are loyal to the devices, developed and designed by Canada’s Research in Motion. You like the reliability of BlackBerry’s email service and your chief technology officer, who bought the machine for you, feels sure your communications are secure.
我是一名高階主管,但我不用黑莓(BlackBerry)。哦,我知道那種人:我在機場見過你們,穿著皺皺的西裝,邋里邋遢卻一臉嚴肅,你們彎著腰,皺著眉頭盯著你們青睞的智慧型手機的小螢幕,大拇指在小小的按鍵上飛舞。我知道,你們是這種由加拿大RIM(Research in Motion)研發設計的設備的忠實粉絲。你們喜歡黑莓電郵服務的可靠性,爲你們購買這部手機的技術長確信你們之間的通訊是安全的。
