new to this message board, hope you don't mind me chiming in :0)
It also makes me wonder what the parents are thinking though when they give their kids cell phones?!? Aren't there cell phones that only function on a handful of numbers ie: emergency calls only to certain people like mom and dad and maybe another adult emergency figure?? I would be a really unpopular mom...sorry, but my kids would not have a cell phone. Pressured from your children that they'll be made fun of and unpopular...sorry, deal with it!
Just heard on NPR (?) the other day that cell phones and facebook and other things that constantly interrupt focus actually "train their minds" for factory type labor positions rather than expansive thought which leads to entrepreneurial pursuits and having original ideas etc. required at the top wrung of the ladder.
Is this what our governments want?
