The government tried to make driving and celling illegal, but it isn't working, is it? |
LOL!! Yes, I HEARD that Michael Jackson squeal in my head.
I don't have as much of a problem with people using their phone as I do with the situations in which they use it. Driving? Use a hands free. Texting? It doesn't need to be done incessantly. Give it a rest already.
I'm not stupid about cell phones, I think they're great. I think the features are great too, but as people do, it's abused right into the ground. It's all about the "I want" micro chip aliens have planted in so many people's heads.

And now they are so small! Do you remember how if you needed a phone, you had to hunt down change for the payphone? Now you can hardly locate a payphone anymore! Isn't that something?  |
I do.
I had one, but it wasn't huge and they were called car phones! LOL!! It was probably about a touch bigger than a normal wall princess phone. It wasn't curved though, it was straight. I plugged it into my lighter to charge it.
Finding a pay phone now? Forget it! I feel sorry sometimes for those that don't want all that invasive technology. They're sort of left stranded in an emergency. I kind of feel a little in awe of people that can have the courage to be a bit more technology free.
I can do you one better - do you remember when phones were used for....<gasp>...CALLING someone? Hehe, now they do everything but nuke your leftover pizza.
