Don't worry, 500 to me is a lot and that's my primary communications method. My SMS count p/mo is 200 ish.

500 to my wife is nothing. Pittance. She blows through that by 1/2 point of the month. ]]>May 14th 2010 10:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/14/cellphones-purportedly-used-more-now-for-data-gossip-girl-blast/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/14/cellphones-purportedly-used-more-now-for-data-gossip-girl-blast/May 14th 2010 10:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/14/cellphones-purportedly-used-more-now-for-data-gossip-girl-blast/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/14/cellphones-purportedly-used-more-now-for-data-gossip-girl-blast/May 15th 2010 4:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/14/cellphones-purportedly-used-more-now-for-data-gossip-girl-blast/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/14/cellphones-purportedly-used-more-now-for-data-gossip-girl-blast/

Bad: People will become even worse at being a conversationalist and become less personal and more impersonal.

Good: Being and remaining a good conversationalist will become an EXTREMELY valuable trait a person can have.

Not entirely true. We only need to look at the rest of the world whose data use has outstripped voice use for many years already. Comms via data is only a form of remote communications. People still know that very important things still require face to face, a voice call if necessary.

Data/SMS is great for filling in general communications needs. It doesn't supplant conversations. Some will argue, and probably rightly so, that the new age of communications actually enables conversation just as the internet, rather than separate humanity, has brought it together; many voices, one conversation.]]>May 14th 2010 10:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/14/cellphones-purportedly-used-more-now-for-data-gossip-girl-blast/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/14/cellphones-purportedly-used-more-now-for-data-gossip-girl-blast/May 14th 2010 6:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/14/cellphones-purportedly-used-more-now-for-data-gossip-girl-blast/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/14/cellphones-purportedly-used-more-now-for-data-gossip-girl-blast/May 14th 2010 6:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/14/cellphones-purportedly-used-more-now-for-data-gossip-girl-blast/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/14/cellphones-purportedly-used-more-now-for-data-gossip-girl-blast/May 14th 2010 6:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/14/cellphones-purportedly-used-more-now-for-data-gossip-girl-blast/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/14/cellphones-purportedly-used-more-now-for-data-gossip-girl-blast/May 14th 2010 6:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/14/cellphones-purportedly-used-more-now-for-data-gossip-girl-blast/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/14/cellphones-purportedly-used-more-now-for-data-gossip-girl-blast/Took me a while, too.

Tell me again why there is even a difference between data, voice and text?!?

Oh yeah, I forgot... so the carriers can screw their customers and somehow justify charging us 3X for the same thing. It should simply be a communications charge - that's it. No voice plan. No data. And certainly no separate text plan. Charge us $XX to transmit XX number of 1s and 0s each month no matter what form those 1s and 0s take. ]]>May 14th 2010 7:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/14/cellphones-purportedly-used-more-now-for-data-gossip-girl-blast/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/14/cellphones-purportedly-used-more-now-for-data-gossip-girl-blast/May 14th 2010 8:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/14/cellphones-purportedly-used-more-now-for-data-gossip-girl-blast/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/14/cellphones-purportedly-used-more-now-for-data-gossip-girl-blast/May 14th 2010 9:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/14/cellphones-purportedly-used-more-now-for-data-gossip-girl-blast/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/14/cellphones-purportedly-used-more-now-for-data-gossip-girl-blast/May 14th 2010 9:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/14/cellphones-purportedly-used-more-now-for-data-gossip-girl-blast/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/14/cellphones-purportedly-used-more-now-for-data-gossip-girl-blast/May 14th 2010 9:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/14/cellphones-purportedly-used-more-now-for-data-gossip-girl-blast/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/14/cellphones-purportedly-used-more-now-for-data-gossip-girl-blast/May 14th 2010 9:39PM
