I had a friend at work relate a story of how his daughters were texting to their friends while he was driving them to a movie.

The friends they we're texting to were in the back seat of the same car.

You know... probably did not want your friend to overhear the conversation.

I bought my daughter a smart phone and after watching her for a while thought about throwing it out the window-the phone i mean.

A Female thing!

Here, where i run the restaurant and also out and about, all you see is Females texting texting texting.
Honestly, i hope my daughters, when they get older don't consider a high dose of texting frequency to be of the utmost importance in life.

I would have thought so too, until this week in the US where all the news has been about certain Male thing in high office tweeting his Thing.

Like Platapus I haven't texted or tweeted yet myself either. I'm kinda glad of it at this point.

Not at all when it comes to my phone. I spend about $20 on air time every two or three months. I only use my phone for work calls mostly.

$20 That cheap, lucky that you've studied now, but soon when you get another job so the bill, can easily be 10 times higher
