Well, there are multiple reasons I like to have my phone with me, including:
1. There being no networking on our instrumentation pcs, so it's a convenient way of receiving emails (including your invaluable advice) and browsing the internet.
2. I can use it to listen to the radio and recorded music
3. The local school and others can contact me in the event of an emergency
4. I often use my phone to take screenshots and images of hardware which I can then directly email to technical support people and service engineers
5. My phone has some microscopy-related apps (e.g. QImaging resolution calculator)
6. It's the only torch no-one else runs off with
I'm also thinking of putting up QR codes at various strategic locations around the facility to allow users to link through to relevant web pages with technical and training information.
Why wouldn't you want your mobile with you?
