An ode to the crackberry

Sometimes certain things should be done in one’s own company. I know the dirty things that come to mind when I say this but I’m not talking to those things. I`m referring to the kind of things that make the people in your immediate space feel alienated.
There is nothing worse than being in a room with someone and trying to forge a conversation and not being listened to and the attention and preference being given to a device that fits into a hand. A device which in the wrong hands which can cripple the emotional attachment of a relationship.
This abusive use of technology – cell phones being/becoming a barrier in conversation and more importantly in the building of intimacy – has made me grow resentful of it. Just the thought of a smart phone fills me with feelings of frustration and annoyance.
