Just don't come to LA  Brendan. All appendages mentioned, are the norm ;)

There was an article in the press about a girl in the States (think) 
who fell down a manhole while on her phone. Shouldn't have but I LOL'd 

:)

 
My old boss is always on about the iPhone, how great it is, 
downloaded the developer pack and wants to write apps for it etc. If it wasn't 
for the antisocial and unhealthy aspects of the things I'd probably be dead keen 
on them, cos you have at your fingertips a voice and internet comms device, 
computer, calculator, alarm, clock, radio, video / audio player, GPS, and as 
time goes on the list will increase. Cool little things, but the issue to me is 
I already have a PC at home and work, don't actually *like* talking on the 
phone, not into keeping up with the Jonses, and I still think people walking 
around blabbering ostentatiously looks slightly stupid. I'm sure as time goes on 
it'll look less incongruous.

Not sure what it is like round your neck of the woods, but people 
appear somewhat 'permanently attached' to their devices, in LA. 
Texting 
& talking in the car, whilst talking with a friend (?), in line at the 
grocers. It is quite a bizarre thing. Everyone walking around paying more 
attention to their devices than what's around them. Oblivious.

 Personally I limit my use of cellphones as well, I don't 
believe they are safe in high doses long term.
