Maybe it’s b/c it’s what I do for a living OR b/c I live in NYC where cell phone use is just as common as bottled water LOL… I think, to a degree, cell phones have become so multi functional that it seems like we are using the more because, well, we are…. no more maps – you have a phone. no more camera – you have a phone. no more payphone – you have a phone. And remember – these phones connect us to the web which was not in existence at one point in time.
However, I agree when it’s time to put them away. First few dates with someone… a Knicks game , amusement parks… like, live a little. Totally agree.
