Mike,

If it hasn't started already, wait till she starts using her cellphone to text messages. You'll love seeing her at the breakfast table hunched over the phone clicking away sending hieroglyphic msg aftr msg 2 hr frnz. One of the defining sights of modern youth is a gaggle of youngsters all hunched over phones, silent except for the muted clickity-click of rapid keypad presses. And they are all sending texts to people standing about 2 feet away! I'd have to say, I've hardly seen that in the US, probably because the massive $ differential between a voice call and a txt never existed, but I saw 2 girls doing it on Sunday. In the midwest. So it's here. Be afraid!
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
