I have not fully embraced the electronic age: I refuse to use banking machines (I worked on the first banking machines-helped fix people's problems- it was you against the bank and it was hard to prove that you were a victim), I do not have call waiting on my phone- why interrupt a call while you are talking to someone else. If you have a very important call that you are waiting for do not take other calls- I have call display. I have a cell phone but it is very old and simple: yes Ma Bell has a credit for me because I did not get a new phone last time they were offered, mine does the job. I have the phone for emergencies not for general conversations. Must admit having a cell phone when we were trying to deal with important issues in another province after the death of my in-laws was very helpful but unfortunately expensive. Not sure how we would handled the problems as efficiently.
It seems t
hat a generation of younger people is being encouraged to text on their phones and it has become a sport. You can win extraordinary amounts of money for being able to text rapidly. Yesterday, Kathy Spence of Scarborough won $25,000 after she won the LG Texting Championships.

Wonder what the next contest will be?
