Good for Billy

We don't care for Billy Crystal, but we agree with his small outburst at people who bring their cellphones to the theater. Link.

Why can't people go anywhere without having their phone? It, quite frankly, disgusts us. We hate to be harsh, but are these people so starved for attention that they want to be accessible 24/7? We realize that most of these people simply forget to turn off their phones in places where they're inappropriate; it's quite innocent, not inconsiderate. But that avoids the bigger question: Why do they have to carry their phones with them everywhere in the first place?

This umbilical cord to be in touch with others, we just don't get it.
