Thing #10 - Technology

Young people and cell phone use

I have a 21 yr old daughter and a 15 yr old son. They both have cell phones like millions of other young people.
I have observed that text messaging with cell phones has somewhat replaced instant messaging with this group of individuals.
This behavior can take place anywhere and at anytime. The most bizarre behavior I have seen so far has been bowling with one hand and a cell phone in the other.
It seems that these small devices have evolved into an extension of their hands.
