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.

It is the ultimate in rudeness when you are spending time with someone and they are constantly texting with someone else. It is inappropriate to text over and over when a quick call would do the job. There is nothning wrong with waiting to respond to a text. If the matter was pressing, the person would call and get a response straight away. I think texting is often used as a cop out way to avoid interacting with someone. So much less personal to flick a few texts back and forth than have a conversation. A criticism that may be said of email as well.
The too late to text rule is that same as the too late to phone rule.
