In my case it's the best way to communicate with my son who lives 5 hours away at school. What I don't like is that I know he texts while driving, which is illegal in California, to say nothing of extremely dangerous. The only saving factor is that he can text without looking at his phone.

I have seen your point in person Phil, my Niece attends school three hundred miles away from her parents. When we have family get togethers its like she is in the room with us. Even though I do not text I know it can be a powerful tool between parent and child.

I think when cell phones first came out on the market, it was a status thing for a lot of folks. "Hey, I'm important, I have to carry a cell phone." And I suspect that some folks back then would take delight in conversing on their phones in public to show how important they were. But now, just about everyone owns a phone. And most folks using it in public settings are just plain rude, not trying to impress anyone.
Now for my Barney moment. At work I have a digital phone (Cisco). If you lift the reciever up long enough, the dial tone will stop, and the ear piece is quiet. With our old system I would on occasion take the reciever off the phone and jus set it on the desk if I didn't want to be disturbed. Anyone calling would get a busy signal. Well the new digital system doesn't work like that. You do that, and your phone will still ring if someone calls you. I didn't know that.
Any way, one day I saw a feller I didn't want to talk to headed to my office so I picked up my phone pretending to be in intense conversation. He came in and sat down to wait for me to finish. Well I figured I could out do him so I had this great pretend conversation going on, when all of a sudden, you guessed it, the dang phone started ringing. Well I was quick on my feet and told my pretend caller my other line was ringing and had to answer it. I never did find out if my visitor figured out what I was doing, but he did eventually leave so I guess the end result was all that mattered. Roll Eyes
