Our first topic is about something many of us would rather live without, but double back home to get if we leave them behind. Mobile phones.

We'd like to know your thoughts on mobiles phones and their usage. Things like when you should or shouldn't use them, what time is too late to call someone and when is it appropriate or inappropriate to text or call.

I think there's a type of scale for measuring this kind of situation.
If it's just to say hello, let someone know you're thinking of them, or to oragnise non-urgent or not-too-important details with friends, then a text is sufficient.
If a lengthy conversation is needed to oragnise something or just to chat, avoid long "text conversations" and just ring them. Or if it's to let your parents/family/spouse know when to pick you up/put dinner on/do something soon, phone.
If it's something that your career depends on or is talking to someone important (or if you need information from a company that is hard to get information from), face to face is best.
