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.
