I sent that piece to a friend in the northeast... and she sent back the following comment: "This is sooooo funny AND sooooo true! As an aside I don't know if this news item from Staten Island, NY made it to your area but about 2 weeks ago a 19 year female fell into an open manhole (around which workers were standing - but apparently not very observent themselves) while texting." Which only goes to show, I guess, that some of these kids may be a whiz at the electronics, but don't know where they are at any given moment!
