Favorite Quote

I am almost to the end of Seriously I'm kidding and I was laughing so hard at this one quote that Ellen  had written. She said, "What’s not so great is that all this technology is destroying our social skills. Not only have we given up on writing letters to each other, we barely even talk to each other. People have become so accustomed to texting that they’re actually startled when the phone rings. It’s like we suddenly all have Batphones. If it rings, there must be danger. Now we answer, 'What happened? Is someone tied up in the old sawmill?' 'No, it’s Becky. I just called to say hi.' 'Well you scared me half to death. You can’t just pick up the phone and try to talk to me like that. Don’t the tips of your fingers work?'"
   This got me thinking about what our society is really about. Most teenagers now are constantly on their phones. It's like they're married to them. I actually feel the same because I was on the brink of tears when I dropped my phone and it shattered the screen. I can't be the only one who has done this. Right?
