[krayzy-kutie]

Well i myself carry and use a cell phone frequently i wont go as far as saying im addicted....yet :roll: But I do think its bad when it gets to the point where ppl are talking on their phones in the car or in the theater Its not like their cell makes them more important ...or does it.. 8O

i think it has become a forced neccessity for many of us, forced by our own accord, we think we need it when it really isnt required. Before i entered the workforce I didn't know how to operate a phone, yet i lived a more relaxed lifestyle. now i carry around 2 because of my work and constantly use both to its maximum.

Since then I had like 100 cellphones.......
I can call myself ''ADDICTED TO CELL''.....I just don't have the money to always get the latest one....doh !!!!

I don't think the cell phones are helping teenagers much when it comes to the written language. There are teachers complaining that their shorthand use of words and grammer used in text messaging is now appearing on actual papers.

I wonder what newspaper articles will look like in 25 years?

True, cells aren't totally to blame, but we use these tools at younger ages more often than we would take to study or lern rite proprlee. As time goes by and the child grows, what has this person practiced the most?
