Teenagers have taken it to a(whole)nother level. The other day I was at
some relatives and their teenage daughter was ON her cellphone talking to
the same person she was IMing. And I thought my sister was crazy when she
was buried in her room 20 years ago talking endlessly. Now, not only can
people frivolously have conversations, they can send the latest songs,
pics, dirty jokes, info, school projects, etc. over their computers and get
instant feedback in two simultaneous media. YIKES! It's overload.
