But you and I hail from the generation where we hung out in the mall to meet our friends, or actually had to wait all day long to use the telephone (if your folks even allowed you access to the telephone).
And, in horror, we are also part of the last generation to know what a busy tone sounds like!
I have a cell phone. I carried it when I was on the job, Left it at home when I was off the job. I no longer carry it with me. I even go to the store with out the cell phone in my pocket.
Yes yes, I'm a brave soul, able to venture into the world alone.
Kids today have all of this technology and are dependent on the stuff. Drop them in a middle of any wild city without the cell phone and they would perish.
I was just talking about this with someone else.
It TRULY IS generational, but I wouldn't even go so far as to say, "kids today."
Example, my BF is 10 years younger than I, and our cell phone use is diametrically opposed. And yeah, it has been a problem for me....
I learning how to "deal with it..."
