The latest and greatest

It seems the norm these days that more and more people are buying an iPod type phones....
At one time, the trend was for smaller and smaller phones - to the point that they were becoming too small - someone like me with big hands and fingers it was almost impossible to use the key pad.
But now the trend is for small tables - this flat thing with a loverly flat screen - so inviting to scratch or crack.
It makes me wonder - we have weekends and holidays to switch off - get away, take a break, wind down.. and yet I see people holding on to their small tables, like its some sort of good luck charm, or a security thing.
"Don't go any where without that phone".... like you could be walking through a really interesting store on your holidays, finding something really interesting ...and all of a sudden the phone (table) rings... Oh beaut.. and everyone else in the store really enjoys hearing you hold a conversation with Frank..."Oh Really ...did he"!

Expressions like - Fuck off - comes to mind.
