Cell-Phones and other technologies that permit printed data transmission in addition to voice transmission have become incredibly invasive to places they do not belong ! The workplace has become less productive in my corner of the world as EVERYBODY has to stop and text back to an incoming text in the middle of working. Or... they have to answer a phone call in the middle of working. These texts / phone calls, by-in-large, have nothing to do with work related business. - And no, I am not a Boss. I am someone that wants to do my job, get paid, and go home!
Restaurants are another place these devices don't belong ! I'm going to the restaurant to enjoy the atmosphere and a good meal. I am not there to listen to someone screaming into their phone or being annoyed by the tap., tap, tap (beep, beep, beep) of texting.
I fail to see what is so dad-blasted important that one needs to be on a Cell-Phone talking or texting as much as you see it done. I have lots of family and friends and none of us are as glued to our "communication device" as so many others are.
As-far-as I am concerned, the "communication device" can die right along with phone calls!
