Do you think that now, after getting so used to them in every day life, in a world where EVERYONE has a cell phone, we'd be able to live without them?


I started thinking about this the other day when I urgently needed my mate. I called him on his cell, only to find out he had left it in my car. I freaked out, I called his home, his girlfriend, even his mom. I began panicking, I was just about to sit in my car and drive around town looking for him when he called.

It was hell. Pure and utter hell.

Yeah, I guess I'm very dependant on them :D



How about you?

    No, it's just that I have grown accustomed to always being available to whoever needs me and having others be available to me when I need them.

    You needed your "mate" urgently Z :shifty: :D

    Yeah they are soooooo important,a survey was recently done in rsa & it showed that 8/10 south africans have mobile phones!consedering that the public transport system here is a shambles its extremely important for one's safety.

    btw, i also cant even stand the idea of leaving my cellphone at home.

    My battery can be dead for days at a time. And I've pretty much universally found that any situation where someone felt they needed to reach me right away could have waited at least a half hour or so.

    Not always IMO. Depends what you consider to be a leash.
