Kids want what they are told they want.  What's important is that your kids listen more to you than they do to advertisers, which is hard considering most kids get about 2 hours of 'family time' per day while taking in on average, twice that amount of time with their friends, mr. television and mr computer who bombard them with cleverly crafted advertising campaigns using subtle psychological triggers to influence kids, since\n1)  kids' demands of their parents are rarely if ever refused, so the kid becomes a direct conduit into the parents' wallets\n2)  kids grow up to become consumers themselves and if you hook 'em young, it is a lot easier to keep them spending when they are adults.\n\n\nRE:  Fish heads\nI saw you asked about this song.  I was going to vote, but none of the answers were accurate.  The correct answer is that it is silly little song by a group called "Barnes and Barnes" who specialize in silly little songs

Heeley's are now on the backside of the latest thing.....they are starting to die down.  Not only that, I have recently seen some stores actually ban the use of them.  Go for the 2 gig ipod nano.

When a telephone marketer calls at my brother's house, he usually hands off the phone to my 4 year-old or 2 year-old niece!\n\nA girlfriend also told me that her brother sends slices of American cheese back in those pre-paid envelopes that come with junkmail LOL

hey. i'm good at this cos i use my moms phone but its actually her phone. but i'm the one who uses it all the time. and she pays the bill. thats nice . try to do that. if not then read on\n\nparents dont wanna buy monile phones fer many reasons. waste of money, kids are glued to smss instead of studying, blah blah. but the key is this. as far as ive seen the kids dont actually have a good reason as to why they want it. tell em that we are living in an era of telecomunication and it has become an essential and not a luxury. tell them that it is needed for safety purposes. like when u go fer a party and this guy is bugging you out then u can call yer dad to come and beat him up.\nand tell them that u are not going to waste their money on messages to your friends.and like someone said play nice. get A's babysit, be nice to yer brother, help grandma take her pills whatever...and then push it slowly. you just might break throug. \n\none more IMPORTANT thing. if u feel that your parents are going through a financially tough time then dont ask. it would be a crime. the above is only applicable in situations where ur parents are financially able to buy u one

My family says they notice it more than I do.  I am gradually loosing my hearing.  I can barely hear people on the phone when I use my cell or cordless phone. \n\nMy Mother in law was able to find one with a very good volume control.  My volume control is not that great.\n\nI don't hear the cell ring, so people send me text.

Thank the school for encouraging your son to integrate with others rather than sinking into his own personal private hole.\n\nSorry, you will doubtless receive virtiol from other computer users answering this as iPods are genuinely detested.\n\nWrite the school a nice note, confirming your disaproval of the loss and asking that they replace the lost item. Once they confiscated the thing, they unfortunately assumed responsability for it.

People don't see the use of things.  It was never thought that people would want computers in their house, because the applications hadn't been invented.  And plus computers were as big as a house back then, no one realized they would get smaller.  My mom still doesn't think she needs wireless.  A friend doesn't think she needs a cell phone, even though it is getting really hard to find pay phones to stop at.  People can't see the use of things that haven't happened yet.  You never know what will catch on.

I don't know what some people's problem is!  At the last college I went to, there was this guy (40-something years old) that was ALWAYS on his phone in the hallway or the courtyard or the cafeteria.  And he would always be talking incredibly loudly, so you were pretty much forced to listen to his conversation, and a lot of them were inappropriate.  I finally walked up to him and told him off after he was outside one day talking (more like shouting, actually) about some co-worker of his who had a pelvic exam and all her gynecological problems... and used her first and last name and phone number. I told him that I didn't know who that lady was, but I was pretty sure she didn't want me and the rest of the world knowing about all her personal business.  And the guy just kind of shrugged and went on his way, and told whoever he was talking to about how some "little girl"(me) was trying to teach him manners!\nAnd BlueTooth/handsfree users can be so obnoxious too!  Especially the ones who have super tiny headsets and look toward you while saying something like "Hi! How are you?" and then get annoyed when you respond!  \nI totally understand that people like having cell phones, I use mine pretty frequently, but I wish they would keep in mind that they are still in public, and they need to be polite to the people around them.

Yes, you have successfully overanalyzed this.  My husband always sounds horribly angry when I call him.  He isn't.  And most of the time he is glad I called (unless it was to nag him about something)  He has never been great at talking on the phone.  Some guys just don't know what to say to a voice on the other end of the reciever, despite that its their girlfriend, wife, mom, or Jesus himself on the other end.  And that's fine.  Relax.  You'll be fine.

From my experience, they absolutely hate not getting service. If you brushed off that commercial about the young lady getting torqued about the dropped call then you had better rethink it because they really get angry. I have seen them in odd positions in odd areas trying to pick up a signal at times. \n\nThey love personal ring tones that they can show off. Many love the close personal contact with friends and family. Chat is hot, hot, hot. Songs are in big time. USB compatibility. Easy interfaces. Compactness\n\nIf you can provide these things cheaply and effectively then there is a good chance they will buy it. I included the phone options because many cell companies supply the phones.\n\nAs an added note of interest, have you watched the younger generation work one of these devices. Watch closely, they like to multi-task and they are really quick. I guess that makes durability an issue with the phones. Also web integration is becoming a must but I think pricing has been too steep for it to take off well.

ur preaching 2 th quire.\n\nSorry. I have asked and answered this question several times myself, and just can't seem to wrap my mind around what some of the others are saying.\n\nI have heard that the prevalence of this so-called SMS language is because the young minds on this site (and others) are so thirsty for information that they cannot take time to properly phrase their Q's or A's. I cry "shenanigans." Anyone with a full QWERTY keyboard in front of them has no excuse. \n\nI've also heard that this is an "evolution" of the language, and that if "ppl" understand what is being written, what's the problem? I've got to say that I have a hard time parsing some of the gibberish I read here, so what's the response to that?\n\nWithout clear communication the system breaks down. It's as clear as that. We need more emphasis on clearly getting our thoughts across using the standards that we have agreed on (English spelling and grammar).\n\nI can't say it enough times: I agree, I agree, I agree.\n\nLoved the book, by the way. I even gave a copy to my Dad for Christmas. The sound of irony was deafening.

My pet peeve (no, make that absolute hatred) is tvs and DVD players in cars. I think they are the most obnoxious things in the world. Possibly the only thing more obnoxious than having one is using the excuse "They're good for kids and road trips." Please, I used to teach preschool, don't want to hear that. I mean why do we feel the need to have a tv on in front of us all of the time, even when we are driving somewhere. Why are people that addicted to distractions? Sure reality can suck sometimes, but come on!!! If I had my way about it all tvs and DVD players designed for cars would be burned and anyone caught with them would have their car seized!!!
