Face to Face

My daughter has the use of a cell phone down to an art form.  Please don't misunderstand.  She is extremely polite and courteous when it comes to her cell phone usage which makes me very happy, but it is her use of the features her cell phone offers that make me smile.  She is like a dedicated server with unmetered hosting: She uses her line at any time and pushes as much information to contacts as possible.

She is completely dedicated to keeping in constant touch with anyone and everyone who reaches out to her via her cell phone.  No one is ignored.  This is good, because if I was ever trying to get a hold of her and she ignored me, her dedicated server would kick her out of the cell phone world.

As far as the unlimited forms of communication on her cell phone, she can use them at anytime and with unlimited frequency.  She not only can text, but she can text with her eyes shut.  She can send me five rather lengthy texts in the time it takes me to create one short, brief text for her.  Then there is the obvious phone calling.  And now there is something similar to what I call a walkie talkie.  I can't remember what it is called, but all of a sudden, I will hear her best friend say "You there?" and their conversation takes place with the push of a button.

Technology is insane and the way we communicate is even more insane.  I"m afraid that the future will bring a generation who won't know what to say when they come face to face with each other.
