Does cell phone's impact outweigh PC's?

Which technology has had the most impact in the last 25 years? An IBM software developer and blogger says mobile phone takes prize for most influential technology in past 25 years. I would argue with the guy, but his reasons on why are pretty solid!

"It's killing the landline; it's killing watches; it's changing the camera business; it's changing the TV industry, the music industry," Ruby said Monday at the New Paradigms for Using Computers (NPUC) 2006 workshop at the IBM Almaden Research Center here. "It's destroying the pay-phone industry. It's hurting the hotel industry and putting the squeeze on universities," he said during a talk titled "Teenagers on the Go." To highlight the future stability of the device, he added, "Teenagers love the cell phone."
