Cell, cell, everywhere a cell

 To paraphrase The Five Man Electrical Band's song Sign everywhere you look today you see people on their cell phone.  People walking, people waiting, people paying, people driving, people sitting all on their phone.  People paying attention to their phones and not their environment:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYgTM1pPjKQ.
Instant communication is a way of life.  No more getting away from it all.  Cells have become a vital part of our lives and have replaced many items that were a big part of peoples lives a few years ago:  landlines, watches, cameras, beepers, voice mail machines  and many others.  Combining cells with internet access give instant access to a wealth of knowledge.  Have a bar disagreement over the first DH in baseball or where was Illinois first capital, the answer is right at your fingertips.  Need a receipe?  The answer is at your fingertips.  Need a flashlight?  Cell phone has apps for it.
I wonder what's worse punishment for a teenager, taking away their cell phone or taking away driving privileges?  
With everyone having a cell with camera and video capabilities and so many security cameras you have to be aware that if you do something stupid it's going to be recorded and replayed.  It's a good thing they weren't around when I was younger.
I'm not a cell phone hater by any means but I think people need to be aware of cell phone etiquette.  If you don't know what cell phone etiquette is below is one link but you have a phone, google cell phone etiquette for others:
