I can't understand this apparent need to be constantly in communication with others, either by speaking or texting. How on earth did people manage to exist in the pre-mobile phone days? Surely, they were able to go shopping, watch sporting events (as you say) and conduct their lives without doing those things all the time.
Another consideration, close to my heart(!), is how do they afford the expense of using their phones constantly like this?
