Sad thing is with all of this new technology comes responsibility. It is a great communication device, I have had my share of 800 dollar texting bills (forgot I was on a limited texting plan) and serves me right. Responsibility would of said; don't text so much slow down and really do I need to stop working to discuss that? Hours are lost daily for every employee as I see each person in my store using a cell phone to text on the clock (I am a manager at a retail store). I do not stop them since I know it is useless and I feel they make up in extra effort in their position. Aside from that my friend bought a blackberry for his daughter because her friend has an I-Phone. We are talking 10 year olds here. Reality check, does anyone under 18 NEED a cell phone? There are younger kids then that sporting the new phones I can't afford. I remember the old day when if you did not answer the phone, you were not home. Life moved on, the kids were finding a way to let you know they were safe. Mr. Responsibility is knocking or should I say texting… "Hello just because everyone has a cell phone, is mature enough; together enough; stable enough; or just plain smart enough, should they be aloud to use one."
