how strange. surely if your friend is with you you would prefer to speak to each other rather than resort to texting or phoning. seems crazy to me the way so many youngsters walk along. mobile in hand- ignoring each other physically.

"Nowt as queer as folk as" they say in Yorkshire.

Ah well I like my Landline. Its darned cheaper than mobile phones. I can rely on it too.

I use my mobile for emergencies but nothing else.

I personally rely very much on emails over cellphone. Yeah, it's a cost-cutting habit.

Psh. Get a life...

Me, I have one so that I can be reached anytime but don't really use it that much. As a matter of fact (and some of you guys are gonna hate me for that and call me a snob) I have an iPhone (not that I actually bought one, it was a present from my uncle) and the alarm clock app is the only use I get from it. So yeah, I have an iPhone I use for waking up, and accept it, that makes me cooler than y'all

@dogsbody70 Suki probably meant it as a joke, don't take her too seriously at moments like this.

Okay-- guess I am in the dark ages when we didn't have the luxury of phone contact at all. anything urgent was sent by telegram. Usually telling a mother that her son had been killed in the war.

I just get so amused by seeing so many youngsters pressing their text facilities rather than actually talk to one another face to face.

Most of our public phone boxes are closed-- yet we used to rely on them such a lot.

times sure are changing.

When I visit the grand children-- they are spending too much time on their latest gadget to even lift their head and say HI.
