To the Editor:

When I was out to dinner with some friends, we got talking about coaching youth sports. While most of us are grandparents, these folks also have a 16-year-old (surprise!) and our friend is still out on the sports fields helping out. The fact that the other dads are 20 years younger doesn’t bother him in the least. What does? The men’s never-ending use of their cellphones.

Like the rest of the world, my cellphone has become invaluable.
