Cellphones, hands down, though Nintendo DSs and PSPs are about as bad.  I still don't understand why people are more concerned with who wants to reach them on the phone than who is speaking with them face to face.  And it's pretty infuriating when the majority of the people at a party are spending more time texting each other while sitting side by

I disagree. I gotta go with a "guns don't kill people, people kill people" argument here. I figure if somebody is that busy with electronics to interact, I'm probably not missing much by not getting to talk with them.

I don't blame the cellphone. I have one and text a good bit. I just put it away in certain situations or if I pull it out, it's not for very long. I do use my cell as a clock too.

I agree completely with you! I'm glad my cell doesn't work in my house!

I think it's hilarious that there are offices getting built to be dead zones. I don't know if there's a way to install a frequency disruptor or something in an existing building but I know the technology is getting better and in higher demand.

On Capitol Hill, I've heard sometimes netphones don't work right because there are too many people in the area trying to access things on the net on their phones.

that's hilarious. I know there are things you can have plugged in that drop all calls within like 50 feet. But I don't know. My whole area is sketchy for calls. Most lose reception out in my area because of the trees, hills, and lack of towers.

Yeah, Alabama has some dead spots too out in the country. I used to sell people cellphone plans when I worked at Radio Shack only to have them come back in a week and say. "We live out in Ramer. These don't work there."
