Everybody has one, and everybody's life these days almost revolves areound them. Which in my opinion is quit silly, but im 1 out of 100000 people.

I can see people of earlier generations causing trouble, just not being so damnably disrespectful. So many of the students in my classes just think they should be able to act however they want, whenever they want. Joshua: Amen to the cell phone bit. They're very handy when out of town or travelling, to be able to get in touch with someone quickly, but I'm a bit tired of seeing them practically glued to the sides of peoples' heads. I know a few profs on campus who have outright banned them from their classes, because people wouldn't stop talking / texting while in class. Also... you're one of the few people who would bring up Marty McFly in a thread such as this. :P Geek! Zeitlos: Yeah, that makes sense.

Though to her credit, she wasn't using a cell phone. “Well, no, I remember the note passing and the whispering from when I was in elementary school.

The difference is: They weren't impolite or disrespectful, they just made a lot of nonsense (like agitating the bull on the field next to the schoolyard so that he broke through the fence and started chasing the children...)

But yea, as long as I can remember it's pretty much always been this way. Of course if, like me, you went to Catholic school, you know the musclebound penguins they call "nuns" would sooner beat you to death than allow that.
