You are so right! Technology in communications hasn't necessarily made us a better society. I must admit I'm a bit peeved when someone answers their cellphone when I'm talking to them face to face. That is the height of rudeness.

Mark, I have been present at the delivery of a baby, where the newborn was left ignored in the cot, while both parents were texting the good news.

Wise words indeed Jean - oh how different communication was before mobiles were around now there is a distinct lack of face to face communication -I think it is such a shame for many growing up now:-(hugs Jan xx
