Hey, most of your posts make absolutely no sense. Why should your

latest

idea of having everyone's cells shut off at 10 mph be any different.



Oh...my wife just messaged me from her iPhone. Her commuter bus, the

one

on which is she a passenger and the one that travels at more than 10

mph

except when it is stuck in traffic arrived at her stop downtown 10

minutes late so she probably will be home a littler later than usual.



Under your plan, she wouldn't be able to send such a message.



You're a moron.

If I were king one of the first commands I would issue is to

completely ban the use of smart phones and their manufacture.

Cell phones with voice-only would be permitted. No texting

capability, no internet access. Smart phones with people walking,

driving,

shopping and whatever with a phone stuck under their nose and thumbs

flying on the tiny keyboards would be outlawed.



I think smart phones are having a major affect on how people

communicate and relate to each other, much the same as how people

communicate here in this newsgroup. It's an inward, isolated world

without benefit of real human interaction and body language. Very

few of the foul mouthed, derogatory and insulting comments would be

made in this newsgroup if those involved were physically present to

each other.


I agree with this post.
My #2 son ignores my calls to his cellphone but will answer a text message back before I have a chance to set my cellphone down......and it costs me 15 cents for each text I send. Don't send enough to justify a monthly plan.
