Back in the days before cell phones and such, people that wanted to attract attention to themselves wore brightly colored suspenders and fluorescent afro wigs. Today them people walk around texting and talking on cell phones in public.

Not only that but cell phones seem to be a security blanket for people who are uncomfortable in public.

I saw a girl on the bus with a phone just like mine acting like she was texting but in fact was doing nothing at all.
