You all sound like a bunch of old fucks yelling at kids to stay off your lawn!!! If any of you were 12-18 right now every single one of you would have a smart phone in your hand at all times.
Times have changed folks learn to evolve. I swore I would never get a cell but my wife got one for my road trips and I used it. Swore I'd never text, well shit now that's all I do. Swore I'd never have a smart phone, well guess what I got one of them to. My wife, my kids (18 and 15) plus myself all have smart phones and it is nice! Quick text where you at what you doing and boom I know who is where and whats going on. BUT.................I can still talk to my kids and carry a conversation face to face with them, even if they think Dad aint cool no more.
