It is hard for some of us old farts to accept the reliance on cell
phones. I have a smart phone and I enjoy it. I don't spend much time
talking on it. I use it to check email and text messages. When I am with
real time people it stays in my pocket. Yesterday my wife and I were at
the corner coffee shop and happened to notice that two of four people
had come in talking on their cell phones and continued to do so until
they were waited on. There have been times that I have been in line at
places
and the person being waited on was slowing things down because he/she
was talking on their phones.
