In a more senior position in an academic or industry environment, people are overburdened by so many responsibilities that it becomes nontrivial to respond to all emails, remember appointments, and so on without the use of a blackberry or other corporate tools. After being hired in a more senior role at Northeastern, my responsibilities increased and I had to keep up with the latest technology. Nowadays, in order to get on top of things, I have a blackberry curve 8900 which I optimize to the fullest. And, I also use a myriad of online tools, which I'll discuss later, to boost productivity.
My blackberry is wired for my corporate emails, calendar, Google Maps, Gmail, Google Search, Google voice/Skype, Mobile banking application, weather app (need this when you're in Boston!), among others.
My boss prof. Sridhar is also an advocate of modern technology, and a few months ago, started to use Skype combined with the desktop sharing tool yuuguu to disseminate scientific information.
