Cellphone Highs and Lows

What is it with cellphones, anyway? Those of us who use them love them and those who don't despise them to death. To some they are the lifeline to their soul, to others they are the bain of their existence.

But cellphones are here to stay. The problem is that we haven’t the faintest idea how to use them socially.

For example, doesn't it seem rude to make a call while you're bored in a shopping line, and force everyone to listen it? And what's worse, it's always the same old brainless "What's Up?".

There even seems to be a “Cell Phone” high that people get into as they try to treat everyone within earshot as if they didn't exist.

I think the "shopping line" is where we "draw the line" with cellphones, don't you?
