Who are you talking to on the cell phone?

I see all these student on campus, and if they are walking alone, I’d say half of them have a cell phone to their ear. I wonder who they can be talking to. Do they have all kinds of friends they need to talk to? Or must they call family members all the time? Is it work related?

And it’s not just talking, but texting. This girl walked past me at lunch laughing and texting. And we’ve all see people talking to the air, which is no longer a sign of craziness.

But students, business people, sports fans, etc, etc, it seems like people constantly have phones pressed to their ears. Boy, I use my phone less that 60 minutes a month. I don’t text. What am I missing, here? How do people talk so much?
