Comedian Louis C.K. won't let his children have cell phones... because so many "stupid" kids these days are addicted to the ultimate toxic means of communication - text messaging. According to the "Louie" mastermind, people only text because they're lonely and sad. Why don't we embrace such sadness instead... maybe cry alongside to a Bruce Springsteen tune. Check out C.K.'s rather amusing "gadget culture" rant on Conan below... do fans agree with his point-of-view?

Louis C.K. can't stand how so many people take advantage of Smartphones these days. Such high-tech devices are "toxic" to the development of true caring and understanding... which explains why there's so much bullying in schools lately (and killings due to texting-and-driving). C.K.'s argument is pretty serious... but of course his witty banter and wise-a$$ remarks merely provoke audience laughter. Check out the amusing rant below:

Is it true... should more people put down the cell phone, pop in a Bruce Springsteen record, and have a nice cry every once in awhile?
