Cell Phones: Where will it end?

People have become so obsessed with cell phones that our relationships are beginning to suffer. People can't have a conversation over five minutes without someone checking a phone for messages. Families even chat via text, even when they're in the same house!

Ok, I'm just as guilty of that. My daughters and I used to text from the first to second floor of the house. :D At least we recognized how silly it was and made fun of ourselves. (Although, it did come in handy during those inconvenient toilet paper emergencies!)

But really, when people have to use Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, and all of those other sites just to keep up with each other, this tells us that we aren't communicating face-to-face enough.

But really, what is the solution? Will it end on it's own like silly joke emails? I used to receive 20 or more per day, but the novelty wore off. Will the novelty of sitting with your head stuck to a cell phone wear off?

What will bring us together again?
