hoke Posted August 2 Report Share Posted August 2 Originally posted by phuturephunk Personal space is ever more critical the more we become connected . . . So true... I was thinking about this same thing last night... trying to listen to a mix I just made, getting bombarded with IM's left and right... and then the phone rings.Privacy is a commodity.

Personal space is ever more critical the more we become connected . . . I totally agree...........Before caller ID was in my area i had a pager and a cell phone. My phone was only on when I needed to call someone. If you wanted to reach me you paged me, and if I wanted to call you back I would.Sometimes you just don't want to be bothered.

hoke Posted August 2 Report Share Posted August 2 Originally posted by wideskies yeah, he understands... lol...Interesting fact: while "bigger and better" is the standard method of penile compensation (think cars, swords, etc...), cell phones consistently buck this trend -- the smaller the cell phone, the better.That man has a very LARGE cell phone.

berniec Posted August 3 Report Share Posted August 3 my phone is always on...if I choose to answer it or send it to voicemail after lookin at the caller ID- now thats another story all together.I've got a pager b/c i'm on call 24/7 for work that I carry all the time, if anyone that really matters in my life needs to get in touch with me they know that #.Bern Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teklord310 Posted August 3 Report Share Posted August 3 Originally posted by hotcheme i can't live without my phone. i feel naked without it. ::snatchesphoneaway:: Now you're naked I answer all my calls, no need to avoid people. I can't stand people who NEVER pickup, few of my friends are like that. Either they don't get service, or left the phone elsewhere, who knows.
