Re: The little screen. Are we obsessed?
I'll never own one of those things. My phone is a phone, I get like 3 to 5 calls a month. Why would I need anything more in a phone?

She's an extreme extrovert, and her social life is very important for her. Today, she lives far away in the North, as her boyfriend works in mining. She still keep contact with her two hundred and eighty something friends at all time, always talking to 4, 5, 6 of them at the same time, and whenever she visits home, we're sure to also get the visit of a dozen of them! The Net is really allowing her to keep her social relations despite space! And often with people she has known since childhood! I find that quite remarquable.

It think all the texting,tweeting, etc stops young people from learning how to talk to and treat people when they are face to face with them. The text short hand is silly to me and what really gets me is hearing kids talk to each other face to face in a similar fashion. I have no idea how they understand each other

Re: The little screen. Are we obsessed?
the phone camera thing really pisses me off. i don't even care if everyone is on their phone, but people stopping to take pictures on their phone then posting it on instagram just drives me insane. in fact, i work with a girl who has a special phone that comes with a program especially for doing "selfies"
anyhoo- if you guys are getting pissed at people being on the phone all the time, wait until google glass becomes all the rage

Re: The little screen. Are we obsessed?
you know, having a cell phone doesn't mean you have to answer it all the time. you can even get apps that will ignore calls after a certain time- or set your phone to silent.
having access to technology requires one to be responsible with it. most people aren't. that's the problem. not the technology.

Re: The little screen. Are we obsessed?
I keep my ringer off, and don't text that often. I do like to be able to check email, but I don't write emails on my phone because I make too many typos.
Some people just don't have manners. Texting and talking when you're around other people is just annoying and disrespectful.
