The cell phone craze is like a disease on this island. New models come out just about every other day, and lots of folks just have to have them...very big competition for business amongst the makers.
They have instigated some laws where you can't drive when using them now, so people pull over, or very thoughtfully stop in the middle of the road to yap while blocking traffic, or else of course continue to drive when on the phone.
I see young couples at restaurants where each is looking at their phone and messaging most of the time......I dunno, it just seems strange...to this old guy....
What gets me most, is when I see folks looking at their phones when they are walking across busy intersections or parking lots, not paying attention to what is happening around them. I also see mothers walking with their child home from nursery school, all the while glued to the little glow.
I have one, but I'm not hooked into it like a lot of people with theirs. It seems like the darn things are corrupting people's minds, and they are loosing common sense, like a little' thing called survival.
The whole thing is a bit worrysome to me, as if society is going crazy. Is it like that where you guys live also?
