I was excited when I got a 50" TV at home....now people get excited because they can watch a movie on a 3" phone

Just don't get it.
I didn't take it that way, I'm sorry if you felt I was defending myself, I'm not the best at converting my thoughts into words and typing them for all to see. I just wanted to explain why I have decided on getting into this modern new fangled technology which I have resisted for so long. Part of me thinks it was better before cell phones came along, when people used to interact with others, even strangers. Now you see people sitting together at a restaurant while some are talking to people at the table while others (especially kids) are in their own little world using their phone to text, surf the web, play games etc.
I have a feeling that businesses will eventually limit the use of technologies within their buildings so things like my bar code app.(Redlaser- which tells me who has the best price for the item I scan) will be obsolete.
