The love affair with the phone.

It’s interesting how many people in this country drive while talking on the phone. Not only that. They talk on the phone while doing all sorts of things. I saw a mother trying to get a baby in a pushchair onto a bus while talking on the phone. There seems to be a real fascination with mobile phones.  The ability to track friends using their phone number has been around for a long time. It’s quite easy to avoid the use of a landline. Vending machines at railway stations can be activated by a text message. I can’t quite get that excited. I must be a ludite.
