Ah! I understand completely. There is one set of circumstances under which I will exchange texts with my daughter. Library/Class, she is at UCLA and lives in the library more than her room. She sets her phone to put calls to voice mail and texts vibrate. I text "Call me", may add urgent etc. Then she will text back or call when she is somewhere it is OK to talk.
You have a very smart daughter. I bet she takes after you. :thumbup:

I like Robert Heinlein's idea from some of his boo... (show quote)
Under this rule (as best I can determine) Abraham Lincoln, Patrick Henry, Ronald Reagan, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and many others would not have been allowed to vote or hold office.

All those annoyances noted, the biggest hazard is distracted, oblivious and mindless drivers, who are the unwitting cause of many serious accidents!

It's not just the teenagers. Several of my co-workers in their 20's and 30's are not without their cell phones, in their hands, for the whole 8 hour shift. It's some of the worst work ethics I've ever encountered.

My friend you have uncovered his never to be eclipsed visionary genus. The blank stare of humans sitting on a couch next to one another texting each other at my own house, causes me to wonder if we are all doomed.

Agree with the replies here. Irritating at best, when texting and cellphones interfere with normal human interaction. Scary when it occurs on the highway! However, it's unlikely Einstein actually stated the quote:

True or not the quote seems apropos to this particular subject. :-D

We live in a constantly changing world.I meet kids all the time andI think they are great and see a good future in them. One thing hasn't changed is adults complaining about them and claiming how much better we were when we were their age. I am 70 and I remember my mother telling me that kids no longer knew how to have fun because we watched to much TV. I also remember how parents complained we spent to much time on the phone. Not that much has really changed.
Were they wrong? :mrgreen:

These kids no longer know how to communicate or interact with others unless it's in some sort of electronic form. A generation of robots moving through life in a fog. Sad and scary. How easily this generation will be to sway politically. They have no idea what's going on in the world around them. And probably don't care.
Yup. :(
