Original Message Went to one of my daughters friends party's . Walked in and saw all these teens . They were not talking to each other but just sitting there text-ing . I thought what a sad world it is !

Last year someone hit me who was text-ing . Took out my rear back light . I went on a high-speed chase to catch up with them and when I finally got them to pull over . The person told me they had to text on their cell phone to tell their boss they were going to be late for work and didn't have time to stop and give me information !

Then the other night went out to eat I saw this family sitting there they all were on their cell phones and didn't say a word to each other !

Its not the same world anymore.

Think I am the only one of my friends and family with a cell phone . I won't get one . I can live with out it .
