It was a moving, almost spiritual moment. In a bustling, busy office a mobile phone begins to chirrup. It chirps, chirrups and cheeps and no-one answers. People look up and sigh but still the mobile phone bleats away. A young woman stands up and advances towards the phone. She leans towards the phone, puts her finger to her lips and shushes the phone. The phone ignores her. Undaunted the woman leans closer to the phone and shushes again. This time the phone listens and obeys. Its chirping ceases and the office once again can work in silence. The woman is a mobile phone whisperer.
Like the less interesting horse whisperer and ghost whisperer the mobile phone whisperer has a deep empathetic relationship, in this case with mobile technologies. So close it almost seems supernatural. If you are fortunate you may work near one of these special individuals. I urge you to pay attention, even homage to them and learn all you can about the ancient art of mobile phone whispering.
