I have to agree with this. I would have to specify that this applies more to teens, than adults though. Although there are a ton of adults that have the mentality of a teenager. I can't go anywhere without seeing some snotty kid talking on their phone. In line at the store, before the movie starts, anywhere really. Since the kids like to include everyone in on their conversations, I can tell that they are not talking about anything important. It is teenage insecurity, and it manifests iteself in a phone. If we didn't have cell phones, it would be something else.
