This use of cellphones (a la "Don't tase me, bro!") is a key moment in 
the third volume of Robert Sawyer's quite nice AI-out-of-the-net 
trilogy, WWW. There's a bully about to whale into a nerd; a gang of kids 
stands around them, some yelling "Fight! Fight!" as the miserable 
bastard will. Then another kid pulls out her cell, holds it high, and 
yells, "Sight! Sight!" Other kids take up the digital record crusade. My 
question: does anyone actually use this term, in such confrontations? I 
expect that they will now, even if they didn't before.
