People can go and waste their money using cellphones the way that they do, I couldn't care less. But 12 and 13 year olds?? LOL.
FWIW, the *ONLY* reason I have a cell phone is because of my business. I am an HVAC Contractor. When I am not at the house or in the shop, I have the biz phone forwarded to the cell, so when a customer calls, they get a live, warm, breathing body instead of a machine or an answering service. They get the man that is going to cure their problem and make them comfortable again.

However.... at such time as I retire, close the business, or whatever so that I no longer have a need for a cell phone, I am going to take it down to the Gulf of Mexico and 1) see how far I can throw it, and 2) see if it floats.
