I don't think cell phones are making us antisocial at all... But I do think that it somewhat gives us a way to hide.. Some people feel more comfortable texting than saying something face-to-face. I'm not like this at all. example:
Just this week I've gotten into a situation with one of my friends, and how does she apologize? Over a text message... That's not an apology if you ask me, maybe like a tenth of an apology.. she probably didn't want to call me, because that would cause a confrontation, and a text messaged confrontation would be easier to hide behind. So I just wrote her back saying that I'd talk to her at school the next day. It made things a lot easier and true to deal with the next day.
I also don't really like how people use cell phones as an easy way to find someone (if you're both at the same location) Who doesn't like to go on a little adventure and go run around to find your friend? It'd be a lot more fun then just calling them up and saying "ok, meet me at the blahblahblah"
