· Everyone is talking endlessly on their cell phones. What did we do when we did not have cell phones? Did we not talk? Were we lonelier? If we have so much to say now...how did we express ourselves then?
· Who are these people talking to at 6 AM in airports??? Who are these people? While i have to make do with watching people, or reading, hundreds of people are chatting away on the cell phones at ungodly hours! I am insanely jealous. I cant think of a single friend or even anyone in my family who will actually take my call, much less chat at 6AM!

On the panel discussion bit, I can straightaway attribute it to the news channels becoming "24 hours". Even in the eventful world that we live in, it is really difficult to fill in 24 hiours with real news.

why can't we watch things the old fashioned way
why can't we communicate, meet, talk, listen, interact with our friends and a whole lot of others who we would love to... face to face, just like the old fashioned way....

Young people are not reading: They have more 'options' for entertainment now. They are confused as to which avocation to pursue and often end up pursuing neither. Sports being one of them too.
