Have we forgotten how to make a phone call?

I am on Facebook daily. I keep in touch with my mom who lives 1300 miles away this way. Well, I left my computer on, and chat as well. My hubby typed "would I like to have lunch with him" As I wasn't by or at my computer, I didn't see this for an hour. By then, it was too late. BUT I would have heard my cell ring..I even asked him why he didn't call? He said he didn't think about it. I really would have enjoyed having lunch with him....sigh

I hate cell phones! And to the point of email too. Why can't people just pick up the phone and make a totally free call these days!!! I swear, my kids are so addicted to their cells...I don't know what their voices sound like anymore! And my husband...he has a life on that dang thing and life literally stops when he gets a text. Why can't people just make a phone call!!!!!

That is why I have turned my chat off on Facebook. I'm either playing a game on there, and the chat window would freeze me if it popped up, or I have it open but am not actively on it. Because it's my home page, there've been times I've just opened the browser and gone to a different website, and when I go back to FB later I see someone had tried to send me a message, but I missed it because I went off the site.

hello ersmommy1, I think people will forget how to write curive writing and good penmanship too. The typwriter is gone and phone is gone what is next? Beginning to woner if we are as society in transistion getting to amorphis into something else far greater than what we planned. Just a thought Thanks and have a great day unique16

Not fan of facebook connection , or the phone or skype , but if its needed i prefer to talk then type i will gladly hear the her voice instead of reading it . If you call you get true on the spot not waiting for her to see it witch can tan take hours :)
