{"text":"Cell phones are certainly not necessary, and 'but I'm from the digital age, this is what everyone in my generation is doing!' isn't a very good excuse for being hooked on a glowing screen 24/7.

It was a fad, there was no excuse for it and it passed, just like I think that this generation's 'cell phones are necessary for socialization' fad will eventually pass. What will it bring afterwards? I don't even want to know, but I'll keep my fingers crossed and hope that it isn't anything else digital.","author":"Rebecca McNutt","tags":["21st-century","acid","cell-phone","digital","drugs","excuse","fad","generation","hippie","immaturity","lazy","peace","sheep","technology","text","tripping"],"id":49504,"author_id":"Rebecca+McNutt"}
