I wouldn't have believed that I would be carrying a phone that would let me take photographs and send them all over the world, instantly check the drug the doctor has just prescribed, and put in a last minute bid on an auction site. Occasionally I even make phone calls!

There's fubbing and there's nonversation (when you tap away with one hand or Google during a telephone conversation).

People who want to kiss you hello or goodbye when you don't know them that well. It just feels false. Even when you do know them, is it always appropriate?
