North Yorkshire Diaries- Lost Without My Mobile
This article describes how reliant people are society on their mobile phones and how it has given them a more relaxed outlook on staying in touch with people and arranging meetings with people. Things like SMS and instant messaging cut out the personalisation of communication between friends, you can even send messages to house phones.
