I personally find electronic communications very useful, even if all the participants are in close proximity. Example: I am sitting at my computer, reading the LUG, and my daughter is downstairs in the den, watching TV. Because she always multitasks, I know that she is on Facebook as well. It so happens that the fridge containing the Wajsman beer supply also resides in the den. So...instead of waddling downstairs to check what is available, I just send my daughter a Facebook Chat message, she checks and informs me, and if I am lucky, even delivers the beverage of choice to me. Now, that's progress! Saludos, Nathan On 29 Aug 2012, at 16:22, Lluis Ripoll wrote: > Actually I see many people looking at their phones, young people mainly, > but even more older couples.
