I'm 46 and see nothing wrong with cell phone usage on board. I'm more bothered by the inconsistency of banning cell phone usage yet doing nothing about loud, boisterous passengers shouting to each other on the plane. It's just as irritating yet apparently totally acceptable. If you require people to speak in a soft voice, then it won't matter if they're talking into a cell phone or talking to their neighbor.
