Forget about all these kids texting. The worst is old blokes in their golden years who should be squeezing every minute out of every day they have left. But instead, waste their time posting on forums on the internet when they should jump on a bike and ride around and visit their mates like in the old days when dad wouldn't let you use the house phone.
But on a serious note. I was once a philistine, but I realized that you have to keep with the times and modern technology if used as a tool, and not a necessity has it's advantages. Otherwise we would still be living in caves and hammering flints into spearheads.
The funniest is when I see young bloke's out on a date with a pretty girl who looks bored to death while they spend the whole time mucking with their phone. I felt like asking one kid if he could have sex with his phone, because that's all he'll have.
