[...] Sorry, A-pah no more sneaking around the gate for a quick smoke. Well I hope this will not affect the business at all Restaurants, Nightclubs and Karaoke bars but I’m confident that new law will be successful. Smokers have no choice but to accept the fact that smoking can kill, literally. Perhaps, by next year, you will be seeing me wearing a Chinese silk pyjamas strutting with the grannies at the Victoria Park on a Tai Chi morning exercise once the ban is implemented. [...]

I can understand the gaming as we had those little LCD games from Nintendo and Casio when I was around 10 or so. But I don’t think we withdrew from human contact, which is what this sounds like. However, I can understand how these are all great tools for adults. A lot of the cars I drive have Bluetooth these days, not that that means much to “no-cellphone” me!

And sometimes kids these days uses them for games, mp3 mobile & a camera. Bluetooth plays a great deal over this. It’s easy to send files as well. I think I do that all the time. hahaha.

Me, too, especially given the cost. I was talking to a friend who hasn’t made up a choice as to which telco to go with, so he and his wife use a cellphone for home. But he has had to take a cellphone off his daughter: he said in 10 days, she turned from being an outgoing, bright girl to a total introvert and glued to her gadget. That is very sad to hear, and I think that can only lead to a backlash. Phones are meant to help people connect, and their presence seems to do the opposite to kids, who become insular and don’t socialize.

I find it quite surprising that many more household prefer mobile phones than landlines. HK is going WIRELESS from internet and cable services. If you visit every Cafe shop, they are equipped with wireless services. And now the 3G service for mobile is going crazy around here.

Ah, I see why people will go for texting instead. I know from all my friends cellphones are expensive, too—another reason not to get one! Like Superman, I still look for pay phones …
