Heck , I still use fingers and toes .....
To err is human, to blame it on somebody else shows management potential.
Are you addicted to your cell phone

I would like to use my fingers and toes, but nobody ever told me how many I had. I know piggies going to market, but that only covers one foot. ????

I'm not addicted. Friends always ask if I got their text "last night". I have to keep reminding them that I don't have my phone on me 24/7, like they do.
I also asked people on break at work(kind of a social experiment) If they could live without their phones for an hour. They all said "Sure I can live without it." When I said "hand it over", they all said "Are you nuts!" Point made.

I know I can live without my phone for hours, sometimes I lose it for days

Don - interesting you should mention Facebook. My wife mentioned a few days ago that this is our version of Facebook. Just my wife's 2ยข.

"wow, that got me out of extreme hot water, didn't it?"
Probably not, but good try ! You should be O.K. as long as your wife doesn't see it.

My son & I plus 3 of our cousins have booked a canoe trip in Algonquin Park (in northern Ontario) for a weekend in July. It will be very interesting going without my iPhone for 3 days, as there will definitely be no internet or WIFI in the back country. It will also be interesting to see how my 10-year-old son copes without any gadgets!

It's really scary. My wife and I will go out and see couples not talking to each other and glued to their cell phones. My wife and I have more interesting lives by our work and by always going out, yet we don't feel the need to twitter. I've found that Twitterers have horrible social/verbal skills.

It'll be very interesting when some of today's teens and pre-teens hit the job market and find that a written report, proposal or other document will not use today's texting and twitter shorthand. I don't indulge and don't have young kids to worry about anymore, but I was watching something on TV the other day, and some of these abbreviations make your hair stand straight out. I can just see one of these young adults trying to fill out a job application or writing a resume...There are certain protocols in the business world that do not change, regardless of how into one is into Facebook, texting, twitter, body piercing or tattooing.
