I watch tradesmen work and talk/text (try to) lots! Some of the contractor's crack down, and they should, for abused cell phone use while at work.
I took two of them out to lunch last week, before I sat down (I was last) one of them was on his smart phone. I told him his phone/table manners were as bad as my teenagers. He said he was on his Facebook page updating his wallpaper.... he's 37 yrs old, married w/3 kids.
It's a bad thing going on...
I watched from my office window, a scaffolding company crew remove plasterers staging from the building we're building. Cell phone in hand 90% of the time. He was 18, I asked. I told him that he should put the phone in his pocket and use both hands. He told me that he didn't want to miss any calls. I explained the pitfalls of it all, he shrugged his shoulders.

Looks like the Dutchman will have to become Smart phone savvy to keep up! Dutchman, do you "Twitter"? :?
