An enjoyable little set of variations on a theme, John.
One of our fellow-tourists on the Great War trail last week was amazed when I told him I didn't have a smartphone . . .

The mobile has become a must rather than a wish, and I get fed up with folk on the train and bus talking in loud voices into them.
But we just have to accept them for both their benefits and opposite.
It might be harder to take a shot with folk in it and avoid having a mobile included.
Wonder where the lass in V 4 keeps hers ?

I was thinking that.
We get kids at the High School who go into cold turkey when deprived of their phones for their exams. The get twitchy and volatile. They can't cope with life without the damn things...
Yes Moira, it's the price we pay for Technology, The Art of conversation is fast disappearing in the new generation. We have so much knowledge at our fingertips but its all facts and figures and doesn't seem to lead to any creativity whatsoever 
Super set John, like the happy bunch in V5,

Yes Lillian, and if Mobiles had of existed when I was young, I would never have taught myself how to play Drums and a few basic Chords on Guitar

a fine bit of mobile-spotting, John..

I think we become too early now.. by the age of 10 we know what we want.. I mean this is one problem.. we are so surrounded with tech gadgets and get too embroiled in them from an early age.. we can't get out..
TV made appearance in my house when I was more than 10.. before that we would so enjoy the programs on radio lying under the night sky.. power too went off quite frequently and we did all sort of things.. there was so much to do.. even if passing beneath a banyan tree, considered haunted, in perfect darkness.. you can imagine that thrill!
I don't say the kind of lifestyle we are forced to live today is 'bad'.. it is what it is! But it is reasonable for a reasonable man to use it as per the necessity rather than an addiction.. To be on the mobile all the time means we don't have anything else to do.. and same goes for other obsessions..
I still don't use an android phone.. my mobile is a cheap model of Nokia 7-8 years old.. I mean one thing - I have been too lazy.. buy a new phone, then transfer all the numbers.. another thing is - I use it only to call, receive calls.. for a little bit of social interaction, I use facebook (only a little.. ).. and for images, I have two cameras..

A great documentary set recording modern life and the all too prevalent 'Selfie' obsession.
There hasnt been a generation yet that didnt complain about what the current one has, thinks, or is doing. The world is progressing perfectly normally.
Mobile phones have not killed the art of conversation, they have changed it. They have initiated enormous change in how we see the world, and what we see, and have been a vital part of significant social and political change.
Oh, the pics are nice.. got a bit side tracked... was on the computer!

Ha ha, you're dead right in your first paragraph W
Great views and agree, we didn't have a phone or a car, a washer and the lav was outside in the yard. Anyone who had a phone was "posh" and it was usually only the Doctor that had one. When I had a baby 42 years ago I had to walk in the snow to the phone box !!!! a different time but time has moved on and I do have a mobile and I do use it. I like the camera on it and it is great to find that in my 60s I know how to use one and the computer too. After all I wouldn't have met such great people like your self .
Love V 1 what a cuties the little one is.

Mobiles are amazing things...they are also VERY annoying
I am surprised that no one has mentioned the "party-line" where you shared a phone line with your neighbour.............if you wanted to use the phone at the same time as your neighbour you had to wait.........................or listen in
Great set John!
