Cellphones mean never having to say hello?

We were just thinking the other day about how, with the rise of cellphones and caller-ID in a few years,
there will be a whole generation of kids who will be pretty much unfamiliar with the concept of calling someone and not knowing who is going to pick up. Anyway, Daytona Beach News-Journal columnist Mark Lane says that we're already pretty much there, and writes about how cellphones are making people so accustomed having the person they're calling be the person who answers that they're dispensing with all the usual pleasantries of introductions, salutations,
or even asking for the person they're calling for, and instead launching right into conversations, oblivious the fact that it could be someone else they're speaking with.
