Cell phone texting is really getting out of hand - I've seen people texting while driving & damn well steer clear of them at all costs! I've also seen "friends" standing together TEXTING EACH OTHER rather than TALKING. Phones (landlines & cell phones) were meant to get people "together", talking, when separated by great distances, then later on chatting with those close to you instead of traveling a few miles to see them... Perhaps it was the start of it all: insulation & isolation. - Texting is just the latest form of that & who knows what will come along in the future to make that look good.
