Our first topic is about something many of us would rather live without, but double back home to get if we leave them behind. Mobile phones.

We'd like to know your thoughts on mobiles phones and their usage. Things like when you should or shouldn't use them, what time is too late to call someone and when is it appropriate or inappropriate to text or call.

I am sort of used to mobiles now, even though few people had land lines, in my day ha!. I would probably be lost without my trusty pocket friend.The one thing that really gets on my nerve is when young people cant seem to put them down for family time or socially or even at the movies. Im not talking about the obvious times, when its totally not appropriate, like while driving or something. ( I mean der- you can kill youself or someone else, if you use your phone while driving. ) Im talking about this generation not being able to sit and talk, listen, even just take a moment, without needing this constant stimulation, or barrage of info, and assault to the senses. I really think its sad that those quite moments, or the wonder of what nature has to offer, no longer fit into the beeping, buzzing, ringing,social networking, and photo shopping world of our next generation. I mean we used to get bored-sure. But when we came upon a song we liked, or something that we were really into, we didnt have that instant access and instant gratification that is normal now. We had to order it,or wait for it- go and purchase it, and that was all after we saved up to pay for it.. It did mean a long wait sometimes, bit when we finally got it. . . .Bliss. . . . .exciting........and more important to us for the trials and difficulties in obtaining it. Ah- got to go. T.V. alarm is going off, and my show is on!
