E-book users (and print book detractors) can take the same cue: You don't have to shut out a technology completely, just be judicious in its use.

I'm not getting the SMS hate, either. I only use it a few times a month myself but it's very handy. When everyone is out and meeting up it's way easier to text someone an address than call them and have them write it down. When I'm going to the store and my husband has a list of things he wants, I'd rather have him text it to me. It's just so much more efficient. I know people get annoyed at texting slang and seeing kids hunched over their little phone screens thumbing furiously all the time. Personally I'd rather see that than have to actually listen to their conversations.
