I recently received this email...
Ever wonder what would happen if we treated the Torah as we treat our cell phone?
--What if we carried It around in our purse or pocket every day?
--What if we looked through It many times each day?
--What if we turned back to go get It if we forgot It?
--What if we always checked It for messages?
--What if we treated It as if we couldn't manage a day without It?
--What if we gave It to our children as a special gift?
--What if we always took It, and used It, when we traveled?
--What if we always thought to use It in case of an emergency?
--Oh, and one more thing...
Unlike our cell phone, we don't have to worry about Torah being disconnected, because Its "Carrier" never fails.
Shalom and Regards,
RRW

Unfortunately there's a simple problem with your analogy:
- what if, every couple of years, we traded it in for a new, shinier model that has more features?
And that's the beauty of Torah - it never gets out-dated or old-fashioned. It's always pertinent and flexible (within confies of halacha) for each generation.
