The same argument can be applied to email addresses, having an Internet connection at home, or heck—going back far enough in history to really underline "the world changes"—it can be applied equally to transportation options other than feet. Since structurally it's not a valid argument for any of those, I don't see how it's a valid argument for mobile phones either. That's not to say that a good argument against kids having mobiles can't exist—this just isn't it. | |

I'd drive there, sort out the computer issues, then use their phone to call my office to see where I was going next. It all just worked :-) | |
