Necessary Luxury

Harry Smith

Executive in Residence, Mona School of Business

Now that I no longer have need for a personal assistant, my BlackBerry Bold on the Digicel network keeps me on time for my meetings with students, faculty and the various boards, as well as in touch with friends and family anywhere in the world, at anytime. Digicel’s roaming is the best roaming product in Jamaica, so I don’t worry about being anywhere and being out of touch. (I’m no longer paid to say this… it is just a fact.)

I’m into healthy lifestyle and my Reebok Treadmill with built-in television enables me to keep physically fit without missing morning news or Mike and Mike on ESPN. There’s simple pleasure, too, like my Tag Heuer watch, a recent Father’s Day gift from my sons. My most treasured watch among my many others.

For rest and relaxation there’s my home entertainment system and my den.

This gives me everything from HDTV to satellite radio to Blu-ray to follow sports, watch programmes of interest, and listen to music ranging from dancehall to gospel to classics.
