One casualty of the cell phone/ PDA mania has definitely been social events of all sorts, which are no longer exactly social, and this becomes more true the higher up the class ladder you get. You might as well stay home and type comments on the internet instead.
ReplyDeletethe cell phone tinkering is like taking out a cigarette. its from nerves. also if you get home from a party & cant sleep, THEN it may be nice to hear the messages. how much sxxt do you need all @once? i always thought it was an affectation, yapping on a cell& texting. it has to be. i have lived my entire life & dont know how to text never did it. never yapped on a cell walking on the street. rarely kept the phone on. it has to be a pose. its also nice to get out of your head. nice to walk down a street & discover things. or think new thoughts.
