I do think age has a lot to do with it. I remember when having a cell was a total luxury. Heck I remember when having a second line in the house was pimped out.
Minutes were 50 cents per, on your Motorola DPC 555 flip, and the battery lasted 30 minutes of talk time if you were lucky. You kept the calls quick and to the point. A lot of times you would go to a pay phone to save minutes cost, if the call was going to run long.
Now people are addicted to their smartphones, and to a degree I am too. I used to not be able to crap without a magazine or paper, now I am scrambling to find my iPhone. However, I do still rememebr when socializing was done primarily face to face, and you got all the juicy details the next day, over a Denny's super slam, now people want to know as it happens.
