you may think im old fashioned, but to be honest i kind of am. i don't like all of this technology, i know it has its pros but it has a lot of cons too. sometimes... well actually all the time, i wish i lived in old western times. when boys tipped there hats when you walked by, and if they had something they really wanted to tell you they would track you down. cell phones make it too easy to talk to someone, especilly texting. i can't tell you how many times someone has texted me before talked to me in person, or only texted me and never talked to me in person at all. people even say things that they wouldn't normally because texting makes it easier to do so. i wish people now days had guts. guts to talk to me and ask me for my number instead of getting it off facebook. guts to walk up and as a girl on a date instead of texting me and asking... i absolutely hate cell phones.. i think they are important for very few things.. like emergencies, or keeping in touch with those who are far away. but it drives me absolutely insane how addicted people are to their phones. i hate when your hanging out with people and their are on their phones. when im with someone and they are on their phone it just shows me who or what their first priority is. it is their phone or the person that they are texting, what i have to say is unimportant. i just dont understand why texting is so important to us. would it be that hard for us to simply put our phones down and get to know the people we are with. people are always changing and you can always learn somthing new from them, you just have to pay attention and take the time to listen. what if someone was upset, but you never noticed because you couldnt look up from your phone long enough to see what was the matter.  i hate texting, i hate the fact that i turn to my phone when im bored. it bugs me that i do that. im not saying we shouldnt use our phones because thats not it at all. but would it really kill us or be that hard to keep it in our pockets when we are with people. show poeple how much they really do mean to  you. listen to them with out the interruption of a cell phone.
