    wow! we have xfinity at $95./mo. 1,000mbps for streaming. dropped cable and the cable phone to save $200./mo., and picked up fubo for the channels mrs b wants.
    changing channels is a pain, but worth the savings.
    two cell phones @ $25,/mo. each, unlimited data. have to get used to using them though.

    I see people who can't stop being pulled into their cell phones so distracted that they walk into people or pulling one out to check information. It can leave people with a fractured focus; I'm not sure that learning to use them is an unalloyed good.

    The whole world is much safer at 25mph.

    When everything is too far apart and you decide it's important that you should get there in less time, you create problems for everyone, including yourself.

    agreed, there's a time and place for everything, but phone usage is unavoidable these days.

    should be federal, but not sure if holding a phone is the biggest problem

    Its been illegal in most parts of Texas for years. You have to at least have bluetooth through the car or some people use phone holders if they need maps.
