Cell phone are undoubtly a great conveinence. They allow people to communicate with one another in nearly any area of the world (pending reception ofcourse). They have saved the lives of probably tons people out there, avoiding tragedies from being lost or stranding to simple task such as turning off a forgotten stove. But cell phones are beginning to get out of controll.
I never cease to be amazed at those individuals who answer their phones during the movies. Or when I'm driving on the freeway and nearly get blind sided by someone, and I look (out of curiosity) to see who is the driver, and find that they are yapping away on their cellphone, no headset and no regard for the well being of other drivers. Now cell phones are becoming a nuisance in a more microway.
I guess in part it's my fault for being to analytical but cell phones are just a burden to carrry around. Often times I am strolling in the store, enjoying my scenary and lost in my thoughts, when suddenly I am loudly and rudely disturbed by the pestering and obnoxious sound of my phone. I reach into my bag to shut it off, but can't find it among the other items in my purse. Yes, I could keep it in my pocket, and risk sitting on it or maybe losing it (maybe that's not such a bad thing). My fiance use to keep his phone in his pocket and recently discovered that due to sitting on his cellphone, his bone is slightly out-of-place in his hip area. Although it is not a big deal, the professional opinion was to not keep it in his pocket or atleast take it out before sitting down.
Yes, cellphones have their benefits, but boy, they sure do pesture you, if not cause you injuries. I guess the simple thing for me is to not have a cellphone, but that is impossible since that is my only means of communication aside from my laptop. I guess I'll just have to find a compromise between me and my cellphone.
