You Have A Call

In the store, in the car, in the office we find them. Cell phones, Blackberries, IPods it has gotten so people can’t live without them. If they aren’t in touch with their friends and the internet all the time their world will fall apart.

Parses like “can you hear me now” and “the most bars in the most places “has become part on the language. They text and they talk constantly and sometimes in the most inappropriate places. You can here their phones ring in meetings, in the theater, at weddings, and while driving the car.  

 The need to be able to be linked to ones friends and family is so great that they take their devices everywhere with them. According to an article on MSNBC. Com the need to be in touch has gotten even stranger.  Anecdotal evidence suggests being buried with a favorite tech device is on the upswing. The Future Laboratory, a London-based think tank, has commented on the behavior, noting it in places like the United Kingdom, Australia and South Africa. But experts are seeing it happen in the United States as well”.

That’s right people are getting buried with them and what is even stranger is they keeping them turned on. One lady even paid ahead on her husband’s contract. It doesn’t matter that the phones battery will also be dead; you can leave a voice message.

“Can you hear me now?”
