I came here to say the same thing. the main reason why phones have become so popular are that they are replacing the need for multiple gadgets (unless you are greed -> savvy). this is a good thing definitely and also he is not talking about the multiple trips he had to make because of lost phone, the situations where he met the friends late because they could not locate where he was. what if you both do not know the place you are meeting well enough, good luck not having a phone

however, i completely agree with the texting while driving and always texting to stay in touch part. i never understood how texting to stay in touch works, you refrain from acknowledging the reality in front of you for this!?
