Gadgets Gone Evil 3
People's addictions to their gadgets can be much worse more than BlackBerry thumb and separation anxiety, at least when it comes to retrieving lost phones. In two separate incidents last June, people drowned while trying to retrieve a dropped phone. First, a Wisconsin man was trapped in a sewer drain, and a day later, a 16-year-old from North Carolina was killed in a lake. Last January, a tourist in New York jumped onto subway tracks to get his iPhone, but luckily survived. Hopefully these incidents serve as a cautionary tale for the rest of the cell phone-using world.

My friend went done a cliffside after dropping it off the cliff. He almost slipped and fell to his death. It was scary.

I thank goodness-that I am not techni savy.
I don't have the headaches that goes with it.
I don't have to worry about using one while driving, or in the bathroom, where alot of people use them, nor worrry about the batteries exploding. I use old phones, which I'm completely happy with, etc. I think alot of us could be less dependent on I-Pod's , cell phones, etc. If you want to use them for emergencies, that is woderful, but not driving, or in the bathroom, or in the store where everyone might not want to listen to your conversations. That is my estimation is having a little respect for other persons, while not trying to involve them in your conversations when they don't want to, but have no choice because you are there where they are.
AMEN

How is having a conversation on a phone in a store any different then going shopping with someone and having a conversation. You hear the conversation then too. Does that mean people shouldn't talk? Don't listen if someone is on there phone. Don't get briches in wad. There are worse thing in this world then a person having a conversation. I love my cell phone. I have a busy life and sometimes while shopping is the only free time to talk to some people. I am more glad to have people to talk to than having something to complain about.

Jean is also more happy having you to complain about than having subject verb agreement.

Looks like four Darwin Award winners. We may miss them, but the Gene pool will be better for their passing.
