A SIMPLE SOLUTION
to text-crazed teens: Let them pay for the stupid cellphone themselves.
None of my kids has a cellphone. I don’t even have one, Luddite that I am. I may get a pre-paid phone sometime in the future, but right now I’m enjoying the $65/month I was sending Cingular a whole lot more than I’m missing the convenience.

Amen. My parents made me pay for just about everything, and by the time I was in junior high I was working part time to subsidize my silly juvenile vices. There is no better or more sensible way. |

I sometimes feel as if my wife and I are the last people on earth without a cell phone. Neither of us actually need one, but I can’t help but feel I’m lagging behind. Seeing kids with cell phones is just an extra kick. I want one! and an ipod! |

I’m a gadget nerd. I’ve got one of everything. |

I don’t have one, but Jeff does. It’s a prepaid one. It definately comes in handy when I want to get in touch with him and he’s working odd hours. (typical retail) |
