Once upon a time, owning a mobile marked you out as a young hip gunslinger, at the cutting edge of mobile communications. Not any more. Now it just shows you up as a frazzled old fuddy-duddy. Here's some examples:
1. You get annoyed at kids on the bus playing music through their handset speakers - not because you think it's rude, but because you've got no idea how to make your phone do it.
2. Your children openly laugh at the way you write text messages with proper grammar, spelling and punctuation.
3. You get your fingers tangled up playing the latest mobile games. Even the ones designed to be played with one thumb.
4. You keep forgetting to lock your phone before putting it in your pocket, meaning that at the end of an average train journey, the battery's run down, you've called your mum for 45 minutes, or you have 17 photos of your pocket fluff.
5. You think mobile TV is a silly idea. Actually, this marks you out as 'wise', not old...
