Friday Rant
I'm just as connected (Blackberry, cell phone, wireless laptop in the kitchen etc.) as the next person but people are almost too connected these days to the point of being unfocused and impolite. Here's a good example: I was at the grocery store yesterday, and the women in front of me was having a loud, animated conversation on her cell phone while she checked out. It was like the cashier, her three children and other people in the store didn't exist because she had pressing things to talk about. It's the same for people who talk on the phone while driving. There's no way you can do both at the same time but we let people use cell phones even though there's plenty of evidence that it's distracting and potential dangerous. I'm not against being connected but everything has a time and place.
