Earlier last month, my wife and I helped move our son who is in college into a house. This was a nice change for him as he’d spent the previous two years in a dorm. As you’d imagine, he was excited to have his own room and privacy.
The house is perfect for college students as they have two TV rooms and an assortment of video games. They also have a wireless network set up so everyone can use their PCs. However; they did not have a landline phone in the house, although I did notice a phone jack in my son’s room.
My son first thought this was an outlet for cable – lol!
Despite not having a phone in the house, he assured us that we can contact him on his mobile phone through voice and text and via e-mail. Today’s college students seem to be totally dependent on their mobile phones and PCs for all of their communication.
Maybe we need to call this Generation “M” for mobile?

I agree! I can’t even imagine what it will be like when my 3 and 1 yr olds are college-age. Yikes!
