lhen Dr. Mark Tremblay needs to take a call for business or personal reasoni
he's a bit old-fashioned, He has never used a smartphone or a cell phone:
“Tm certainly not a (technology) addict. I don't own a smartphone or a
cell phone. I'm what some would call a Luddite,” said ‘Tremblay, director of Healthiy
Active Living and Obesity Research at Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario. *
Ifhe missed a phone call from home while he was at work, he’d return the call when
he could, He doesn't fee! less connected to his family. In fact, quite the opposite. He
hasn't missed medical emergencies or important events with his four children. “You
know what? I was there for the firsts.” :
As an executive, Tremblay is an anomaly. He isn’t one of the estimated 6 billion
people who take advantage of mobile phone access. He manages to get his job done
and, he said, represent the healthy lifestyle he wants to model for his department and
his family. He's proof a modern, successful executive isn’t tethered to technology.
