I tried to read the article, but I kept losing my train of thought...
cell phones are bad...mmkay
I hate the fact that I became one of "those" people. I tried to hold out and not get a cell phone for a long time. I never felt that there was a large enough section of family and friends that NEEDED to get in touch with me at any moment.
I broke down and now have one...but I find myself using it less and less in the past year or so.
I tend to forget it a lot.
maybe that is because my mind is melting from the constant barrage of INFO.
What I find dumb is the morons who talk on their cellphones in public with complete disregard for the fact that the PUBLIC is forced to listen to their one-sided conversation. It's right up there on my top ten list of annoying things for sure.
The one I hate the most are the people who drive while talking on the phone... AAAAUUUUGGGHHHH! AAUUGGH! AAUUGGH! AAUUGGH! [Sam Kinison's scream - my emotion]
Especially when they're driving some dumb-ass SUV!
Okay, I'm calm :)
