    My parents are always telling me that our generation are ignorant and spend hour upon hour on our phones texting, browsing the net and playing games - do they need to get with the times or do they have a point?

    It depends on whether or not they're playing angry birds or the like.

    calling an entire generation ignorant is ignorant.

    Whats ignorant about it, if people want to spend hours on their phone they are well within their rights to do so.

    Yep. Kids will be like goldfish soon. But at least they'll be able to breath underwater.

    You can waste your times browsing the Internet/using your phone, etc..You can find/do so much with technology.

    While the word 'ignorant' is being thrown around about phones, the only thing I find a bit ignorant is spending all your time on your phone in the company of people. But, that's how life is going.

    My boss often complains that I don't use mine enough when he can't get a hold of me. My last bill was €1,700!

    Glad he's paying the bill and not me.

    You could use an online dictionary to explain what ignorant actually means, on your phone.
