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 anytime after 9.30-10 is too late to call.

I am a firm believer in not taking calls when you are out to dinner with someone, well actually I think it is very inappropriate to take calls or text at the dinner table period, some of my friends do it and it drives me up the wall.

Some people (the younger generation) have become so use to texting people that they get anxiety when they have to actually talk to someone one the phone, I think this could be a real problem in the future especially when we have kids living out their social lives through Myspace and text messaging and not having any physical social interaction.
