That may be true, but teens are only in touch with friends after hours. Not disgruntled employers or employees, collectors, telemarketers--those unpleasant real-world calls. I wonder if his generation wil feel the same way when they have jobs and their employers call them at home at night? Or even now, would he appreciate his teacher calling him in the evening to complain about something? I doubt it.
