I am the most unorganized person known to man and I use my bb to conquer that problem. No we don't require it, but it sure helps!

This thread is a constant stream of bickering... back and forth and back again
Get over it!! You cannot convince each other... that is why I dropped outta this whole thing sooo long ago!! You can each have your own opinion but quit bickering like an old married couple!!
The young uns can believe they need a Berry and the others can sit back and be quiet... holding whatever thoughts they have on the issue in their head! They will never stop arguing back, so glad to hear you attempt to end it!! Just be glad you are not their parents!!07-10-08 08:56 PMLike 0 - Yes, yes, yes, YES!! Please agree to disagree!!

I'm not singling anyone out as dumb; that's why I made a broad statement referring to some individuals on the forum as being dumb. Of course, the greater the pool of members; the higher the pool of opinions, thoughts and views. That doesn't change the FACT that an increase in members, will undoubtedly increase the pool of members that are DUMB or any other semantical word you want to use for that...immature, slow, mentally challenged and so on. It's simple law of probability.
I agree w/ bmmclure and a lot of others members that have posted in this thread...while the premise of the thread is legit; the progression of discussion in the posts as the thread has gone on..has become degenerate.07-10-08 09:06 PMLike 0 - I got that you are 12 the first 12 times you said it.
But, even though I despise the Wings with every fibre of my Senators loving heart (sorry man!) he is right - I am not talking apps like Facebook, Twitter, BBM, MySpace etc, I am talking tools like syncing your work appointments to your Berry, notes from meetings, reports, important reports between departments, alerts. While I am completely on board with RIM embracing the consumer market, a Berry is a WHOLE lot of phone for the average user (domestic goddess to CEO), and a 12 year old, while I am sure very busy, could do everything they need to do with a Katana with a web browser. Berry is overkill, not necessary, and sorry if this offends - wasted.07-10-08 09:06 PMLike 0 -

All I will say is when my child is 12, they won't have a Berry. End of story. I am done in this thread, it's an endless circle and no one will change their minds.Last edited by reeneebob; 07-10-08 at 09:19 PM.

- First, I gotta say this is a great thread. Where else can you get this kind of discussion, especially cross-generational like this?
As I said before my kids are 14 and 17 and pretty well adjusted. My wife and I have long struggled with these issues. Are our kids lazy? How much is too much (both stuff and technology)? I know they don't do the same things we did as kids. They don't just go out and ride bikes or play sports with their friends like we did. The certainly seem to spend a lot of time surfing/IMing/texting. On the other hand their lives are a lot more structured than ours were; every sport is organized, there is a practice everytime you turn around, etc. On balance I guess my kids are different than I was but not necessarily lazier.
As for not socially interacting, thats not so simple either. You could argue that this technology keeps them better connected. It would be a bad thing if kids only interacted via texting/IM, but my kids also do a lot of face to face socializing (which we encouirage and support). Their social skills are pretty good. I am reluctant to criticize too harshly just because things now are different. Only time will tell.Last edited by branden3112; 07-10-08 at 09:24 PM.

The day text speak becomes okay to use in standard conversation will be the day I start drinking heavily...I can't be the only one who uses proper grammar, spelling and punctuation in my text messages, can I?
Anyway, incase you missed it:
