    I hate cell phones

    1314 days ago

    There’s just something about being always connected, that even as part of the internet generation, I can’t get over. I think cells really encourage people to just take off, not having planned ahead, knowing they don’t need to rely on themselves, they can always make a call. Without the cellphone the motivation is there to plan ahead, to have a way out; but when a cellphone is their lifeline at every point, they will be much quicker to call someone (and probably you) to bail them out.

    Do people really always need to be connected? I know that I sure don’t want to have to deal with getting phone calls whenever and wherever I am. So as cool as some phones are becoming these days, I’ve always been and still am averse to the idea of having one.
