Theos-Talk Archives (July 2010 Message tt00083)

You are in fact agreeing with me - you prioritised what was important and what 
was not. Texting and emails are 99percent other peoples waffle. I am astounded 
with Facebook as it is used for the most inane communication such as letting the 
world know that one is about to step on a train or will be five minutes late for 
drinks! The communication companies are literally making billions from this 
desire to have contact with the world every minute of every day. That people 
cannot turn the 'off' switch on, is turning people into narcisstic junkies.
