"Hyper-Communication"

Andrea Peyser described our out-of-control "age of hyper-communication": "Whether in the bedroom, the bathroom or even while on a date, folks today are never out of touch with someone potentially better. But despite all that communicating, people never connect." I've never seen anything like it; it looks like cell phones are now a part of people's hands -- they are either on the phone or text-messaging at all hours, even at work. What's incredibly obnoxious is when you're talking to someone face-to-face and they stop to take a call or respond to a text message. At the rate things are going, constant cell phone use will eventually be excused as the latest "disability".
