Er...I ARE the fairer sex, and I still don’t understand the feminine fascination for phones. They are tools, period. But then, overall, I don’t understand women, either.
My daughter can function without her cellphone. She has it attached to her ear from the moment she leaves the house in the morning till she comes home at night. Idiocy.
Hey, this is turning into a fun thread, battle of the sexes kind of thing. Another slant on the question : music. Some 10 years ago now I met young Sherry Edwards at a science conference in Ft Collins. She was born with “perfect pitch”, sound/music was her WORLD. She had mapped out all the molecules of the body and their natural sound resonances/frequencies.
Thus, just by listening to your voice she knew what molecules/organs needed massaging with a specific sound frequency. So in talking to her she said : Oh, it’s your pancreas, that’s an F# : dials her computer, puts the head phones on me and KA-WHAM, I feel wonderful right now.
No, it’s not psychosomatic, this is a REAL cause and effect thing. Other than her FEES being a bit high, you call her up on the phone, she cranks it through her computer and back over the phone comes the right healing/massage frequencies. Sounds too simple, yes?
And yet, think about it, why do you like music, or to talk? SCIENTIFICALLY it’s a molecular massage. So when men are out there in the field grunting along with their job, and exercising their muscles/molecules; women are at home, getting their exercise by talking to each other as a mutual molecular massage routine.
Thus my $2 is still on women as the inventors of language, discoverers of the molecular massage technique of talking and singing.
