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 believe that although to many they are the best thing out, that in real life they are a very big 'time waster'. I have one only for emergencies, such as when I am travelling long distances by myself in the car. My daughter and other younger people seem to be 'controlled' by them sometimes with demanding text messages every few minutes. I guess that you could learn to live with this sort of demand, but think about -what did we do before their invention? We coped we survived and we had more time to do the things we really wanted to do. How much time does it take up of your life? Keep a diary of every call you make and the time it takes to respond or otherwise. How much time do you 'waste'?
