Its strange how things change over the years, especially with new technology. Since I work with cell phones at work, I have thought of some of the changes that cell phones have brought to our civilization.
50 years ago people would think you are 'off your rocker' if:
you talk on the phone while in the bathroom.
you shamelessly talk to a small object in your hand several times a day.
you are happy to hear a buzzing sound coming from your pocket.
you continuously put something on your face that you never wash.
you aren't sure whether you've received a message or your leg is twitching.
I imagine someday in the future when I am as old as a Jitterbug customer, there will be a technology that I don't understand. But I think I won't have a problem understanding the technology in and of itself, I will have a hard time with the new social paradigms.
