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.;D

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.

You're right Taka, people texting while driving is a real scurge, it takes more attention away from the road than if you were actually talking.
At the moment I'm still providing a phone for my 19yo daughter, last bill, 2,500 text messages in a month and 90% of those were to her dimwit boyfriend.
As soon as this plan runs out she's on her own.
Hey James Lee, I text my wife more than anybody else. ;D

 I dont text. Drives my son nuts! If he really wants to talk to me he can phone, then he KNOWS I got his message.
 I particularly love the texters who will ask a question or offer an invitation by text. I consider this style of texting to be especially rude - basically its a claytons invitation by someone who really isnt interested whether you show up to the do at all because if the message isnt received you would never know about the invite anyway. I've had messages show up on my phone 2+  days after they were sent.
 And texting while driving - it ought to incur an immediate 3 month license suspension. Bloody ridiculous behaviour. At least if you speed or hoon you are paying attention to the road!

 I am officially a G.O.M :D

Texting in the hands of the older and uninitiated can be dangerous

When my Mum heard that a friends mother had passed away she sent a text expressing her sorrow and ended it with LOL. thinking it stood for lots of love!

Suffice to say after a bit of explaining they remain good friends and laugh about it often over a glass of wine!
