Just what we need. More techy stuff for people to fiddle with while they are driving.  One political party has a lot of time on their hands these days.  Maybe they could come up with some laws pertaining to when and where we should be using all these phones and appropriate voice level when in public.  

On another woman’s forum, I read about a woman who , while sitting in a restaurant, heard a dog barking loudly.  It was someone’s phone ringing.   

While I just LOVE all this technology and have been a techno-geek long before it was popular, nowadays all I want are my laptops and cell phone. I’m no longer a Type A. In fact, I never have my cell phone on. I figure the phone is for MY convenience, so all calls go to voicemail. People know email is my primary form of communication. Most people are missing balance in their lives. To that end, I am working towards getting the city in which I live to make illegal cell phones on the beach.  I would love to find a way to make them illegal on the perimeter of the island where I live - a gorgeous place where people walk pets, run, and just walk and socialize with others while enjoying the beautiful flowers and lovely boats in the harbor. Such a pity people use the phone when they could be taking in all the natural beauty. 

Must admit though, I do like that dog-barking ring tone.

Cart before the horse of course, but what about an app that would make the iPhone more affordable?  I love the techno stuff, however the iPhone will remain a fantasy for me.

$299 + monthly contract fee + $ per app = REALITY

My kids really want iPhones and I keep telling them that they’re lucky they have any phones!

I use my phone mostly to text my kids and husband (I have the Rumor in green - what else? :). I like having a phone with me when I am out but I prefer not to use it, if that makes sense.
