It says that we have a rampant problem with the formation of social bonding. Which is actually the only major selling point our species had at all.
I think schools should start teaching new subjects, things like how to interact with others and how to incorporate computers into your life without losing the latter.
Are there still schools out there that out-and-out ban phones?
I know that only a handful of people had cell phones while I was in school -- and most of them that did had them for work release jobs -- so a ban wasn't really in place because it wasn't necessary, but they did pan pagers and the like that were more readily available.
Doesn't really matter to me as I'm childless, but I think it would greatly aid social development if we'd just keep the cell phones away from kids until they've figured out how to communicate in person.
Hell, I wasn't
allowed to call friends that lived down the street on a
land line when I was growing up, I was required to walk down the street and knock on the door if I wanted to talk to them.
