Smartphones are a normal part of young people 'life. It 's adults who are seriously in love

Much of the Ofcom was to investigate the way we Brits use for making our smartphones. The focus was on the \ was "shocking" use of BlackBerrys, iPhones and Android phones from Naughty teens in places like libraries, theaters, cinemas and even the bathroom.

Surely this is missing the point clear by Ofcom 's Director of Research, James Thickett, which instead said the finger at young people' overuse Smartphones changing the way we ought to modern manners and etiquette are looking specified.

"It's not just about adults and teenagers having different values," he said. "But it is about technology changing the way you behave in social situations." It may not be, as he said, an issue of a generation gap but a question of the different technologies each uses.

Have in fact middle-aged smartphone users always seemed much more seriously as a teenager addicted and it is very likely that adults who participated in the survey Ofcom are less well prepared tweeting, admit, SMS, surfing and e-mail if they were meant to observe or Chekhov in a terribly important meeting.

To the contrary, young people wouldn 't any reason to be ashamed to admit that they use them a lot, and that they see watching TV with their laptops and smartphones. You might also like to say that they are instant messaging under the table during meal or a long family tradition in the library when they are intended to be revised for their GCSEs.

Having grown up along with technology they have grown less enchanted by her. My kids definitely take for granted the technological magic all around us, because they have developed with him, as opposed to Oldies, where the phone everything seemed in a sudden bout of hand-ways to work out and play on the move .

Last week, a woman of similar age to me (mid-forties) swapped apps with me for an hour at work. We also showed each other how great our holiday photos were now we could edit them on our iPhones. There was a flushed and excited look on both our faces not only at this amazing new technology but at the fact that at our age we were able to master and enjoy it. Somehow it seems to mean that we are not "past it", and that our own potential is somehow linked in with the sparkly potential of the thing we keep in a special place in our handbags.

I got used to it, talk swooping eye movement, middle-aged friends who I will be at the same time as constantly check their telephone number for messages and notifications from Google tweets. You tell yourself (and everyone else) that it is important to their professional lives, but networks like Twitter, the definitions of social networking and information to blur, how to make smart phones it is possible, while to make the work and work, if you want to sociability .

In our household it is not the young people who are lying in bed last thing at night and held first thing in the morning with the phone to her face, so they can catch up on the latest on whether or TweetDeck that important e get email.

Don 't worry about the young people, they take technology in their step. But as for me and my colleagues, we must seriously consider the possibility that our love is giddy with the phone, to reconsider our relationships and the way we live and work.
