I couldn't agree more. Thank you for writing and posting this! (And, yes, I can be guilty as charged.. but making an effort to keep that phone in my purse or flipped over.)

Should have said "choose a phone as their favorite toy".

Spot on Tim. As a father of a toddler and an infant it's bizarre to me that a lot of children their age choose a toy phone as their favorite toy. I know mine reach for my phone faster than anything else… and I only have a cheapo free with the plan phone. It's a great reminder that they model what they see.

As a school teacher it is becoming more apparent every year that cell phones and internet connectivity are actually killing our ability to REALLY communicate. Eye contact is going extinct.

I'm guilty, especially if I'm in a class with the laptop and wifi. I do agree that there are times to pay full attention such as in class or a meeting, etc; as well as times such as hanging with friends or family where it's helpful to the conversation or simply part of this century.

I could not agree more. I am often amazed that people put the call before the person that they are actually talking to in person. I rarely, practically never, even look at someone calling in if i am face to face with someone else. What makes the call more important or valuable than the current conversation?

Great Words of wisdom, I have been guilty of this!

Tim, I couldn't agree with you more on this. (And that is rare, ha!) I've felt people tune out in conversations even before all this technology came into existence, but now even more. Nothing is that important to interrupt a conversation with a friend or family member or for that matter, a stranger. One of my favorite things to do is get together at Border's or some other coffee establishment with a friend and just talk and listen. This really hits home with me. I would have a huge problem if I flew somewhere to a 1 hour meeting and have people texting instead of listening. I'd be like "that's it guys I'm outta here." Thanks for listening, ( or were you texting as you read this?)
