I find it extremely rude to accept a dinner invitation and then bring along your cell phone. It makes getting to know someone very difficult. Michael-

Personally I have become increasingly against cell phones. It drives me crazy when the plane lands for instance, that everybody whips out their cell phones. Not to mention talking on your cell while driving (here, if you are caught by the police, you pay a fine - but it is all biased, because if they see a guy driving a hot car, they won't stop him)...and tell me, how can you pay attention to your conversation AND to your driving? not to mention the little ladies, who being too busy to talk, crawl at an infernally slow speed... All this technology, though created to bring people together, lessens communication. Of course it is great to be updated, being in touch with your friends, but when it becomes addictive there's a problem. I want to see more social interaction, not IM but face-to-face. And like you said Michael, I want to see the people, not the screen-name, not their profile, but THEM. The human being behind the tech-self! Patrice is so right.

On facebook, a high school friend of mine posted that she was out having dinner with her boyfriend and then mentioned what she was going to do next. Then, there was a reply comment by her boyfriend! I immediately thought, if they're out on a dinner date, why are both of them on the phone logged into Facebook???? Technology has certainly taking over majority of our lives to where we're missing out on what's important, and that is enjoying life with our loved ones. There is a time and place for everything. Like you're not willing to give up your iPhone, I think we should not totally neglect our phones and social media, but we definitely need to manage it and place personal relationships at a much higher standard than we have bene. Thanks! Hey Michael,
