man, if we had cellphones when i was little, i would've given my brother so much hell... all we had were pagers back then, ****.

how is this the writers fault?

@11: My father is a computer programmer and still asks me questions about his phone. It's not that he's stupid, it's that despite what age you are or what your background is, everyone's good at different things. You're not automatically going to understand something just because you're in your forties. I'm sorry OP; I know that's got to suck re-doing all those numbers.

#11 yea so I have a younger sister who's 6 and she can actually do a lot of things technology wise. She knows how to operate games on a computer.. It's because these kids now are growing up in this tech age, that they are more capable of using a cell phone and a computer than those who haven't grown up using it, i.e. your parents, who had to learn later in life.

First of all, never put your cell phone in your siblings sight and second, at least she didn't erase the numbers

ahahahaha.. that's awesome. i dont know about you, but that's def a win for her.

YDI for leaving your shit unattended.

Dude, that's lame. I don't know the numbers for my friends, that's kind of the reason for having a contact list, right? But I also have a master list saved on my computer just in case-- look in to that one next time! To #11: They aren't entirely different things at all. Once you get the typing down, exploring the phone, getting to the contact menu, finding the options and editing the contact's information would be hella easy. You obviously underestimate the intelligence of an 8-year old. They're in the fourth grade by then, I know friends who had to confiscate blackberries from KINDERGARTNERS while working at a day care! So while you were probably too stupid to get it at age 8, these kids have been around it since birth, so it's a lot easier.

And now I would expect that you're an only child...

Owned by an 8 year old... ouch Guess you're just going to have to call them all and ask who they are rofl
