I am amazed at the proliferation of cell phones and the industry that
surrounds them. If you have a cell phone, how often and where do you
use it? Has it replaced your traditional 'land-line' phone?

I am sick of people talking on the phone and in the pathway of everyone who
is trying to walk around them. Why don't they move to the side of wherever
they are and talk, then proceed. Driving while talking is very dangerous,
and yet here are people having long conversations while typing up traffic or
driving dangerously.

I was shopping the other day, and even when making checking out, this woman
was on the damnable phone, the rest of us wanted to get out, but here she
was not even looking or listening to the the checkout person. It is truly
sickening. I wonder how people ever made purchases without consulting
everyone they know before continuing to the checkout still conversing with
whomever.

Ownership of one has a purpose if traveling alone and maybe having car
trouble, etc. But it is getting ridiculous trying to conduct a simple trip
to the grocery store without being held up by those who can't seem to wait
to get home to call someone else.
