I know they're really hand for communication and all (I don't discount their importance), but I feel like everyone is way too attached to their phones. I'll sit with a group of friends, and most of them will be on the internet or texting someone else; it feels like they're not paying attention to where they really are (and the rest of us feel kind of neglected!).Lauren Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05749629168151466704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5468546013884694910.post-7677450769758461442010-12-15T11:55:59.342-05:002010-12-15T11:55:59.342-05:00I would say all fossil fuels (and that means coal ...I would say all fossil fuels (and that means coal too, so this aint no steampunk fantasy neither).
