OH so very very true. I have a new game, it's called 'Drop that Cell'. While driving I not only watch for cats, trucks, bikes I watch for cellphone users and lay on the horn when I see one,talking or reading and I lay on the horn. Cops don't seen to have a problem with this and usually laugh if they see someone drop a phone. Was asked why I did this and I just looked at them.

It's a national epidemic! Child psychologists try to raise the alarm, but what does our government do? Give free broadband to under privileged kids, who ALREADY have the odds stacked against them.

I kept noticing that my Grandson looked at his phone every two minutes ( I timed it ). I asked, "are you expecting a call?", he says yes. I then ask why he doesn't just put in on ring, so he'll know when his call comes. He says, "I have it on ring already.". I then ask, if it's on ring, why he keeps checking the phone anyway. He says " I don't want to answer it, I just want to know when they call, so I can call them back ". I tried to explain that when the phone rings, he can see who's calling and then call them back, so he needn't look at his phone all the time. He looked at me as though I was speaking German.

There is something wrong with that child's logic circuits, but he is by no means alone. His Father, once bumped a drink and HIS phone, both of which headed towards my expensive couch - he grabbed the phone and let the drink spill. The phone could NOT have been damaged falling onto the cushions - but his brain couldn't process that information - so now I have a huge cleaning bill for my couch. I have no doubt, that if his house catches fire, he'll make it out - without kids or anything else - but he'll save that damn phone.

It is so true. I was talking to my twelve year old last night about it. When we sit to watch a movie she is on the phone texting. The other day I watched an older couple at the doctors office for a few hours. They sat next to each other but each was focused on their individual phones. Last night while waiting for a table 4 teens sat across on the waiting bench from us. They talked for a minute or two. Then the talking stopped and each of the 4 were glued to their phones. After we got a table I watched several adults at the bar. Several sat across from the tv but were glued to their phones. Crazy. Older women are as bad as teenagers on these damn things. I see people pull out in front of me frequently never looking because of these phones. It is really bad. People are s***es to the phone.

Cellphones are checked at the door at this house, only time one is allowed is if someone is here to do business. All family members know the rules and put them on the end table as they enter.
