Maybe I am old fashion and JMO but when I see anybody constantly on their blackberry/cell txt ect it really turns me off.

I suppose because I prefer to look/observe the world around me.

It (again JMO) makes the user appear to be a self absorbed individual.

When in public it is nice to give or recieve a smile and eye contact from/to people.

We all have low days and that simple smile can really make for a spiritual uplift whatever we are sufferring through at the moment.

I am in agreement with you 100%

the population today have forgot how to have a conversation, how to say thank you, how to say please and hello.

When I lived up north for a bit I had to get the subway/T underground train etc and I swear seeing these people on their phones all the time just amazed me.

I would see funny things like a guy and a gal walking together while both texting.

It’s just plain silly .
A guy next door to me moved in recently, he walks his dog with his 12 year old and every time the father is just on his phone.

I mean what is that about, your child is there walking with you and you would rather be on the phone doing what ever.
Even his child has said he is on the phone all the time so he can’t talk to his father much.

If IO get on a train then I like to see the world, etc.

When we go to east TN the mountains we never take out phones at all, we enjoy the beauty of east TN and be a family

I have a co-worker that got upset cause I stopped going to lunch with him.

All he did for the 30 minutes was text message someone on his phone EVERY SINGLE DAY. He would barely acknowledge me.

I told him that it was boring just watching him text every freaking day. It was more fun eating BY MYSELF.
