-When I went to London on a family vacation over five years ago, I was amazed at how technologically advanced the British were. Everyone was walking around with cell phones and almost no one I knew back in the States had one. I scoffed at the extravagance. I thought to myself, why would I ever need a cell phone? Now, I don’t even go to the bathroom without taking my cell (more on that later). The only thing is, I think that having a cell phone has slowly become more trouble than it’s worth…
-Let’s face it, a cell phone’s primary function is as a phone book. I have everyone’s number in there. Of course, I dial by choosing a name out of my phone’s address book and when the phone rings, a name pops up, not a number. As a result, I have no fucking clue what anyone’s number is. So when I don’t have my phone on me, I can’t call my roommate or even my sister.
-And now that I have literally hundreds of numbers in my phone, I don’t even pick it up anymore when someone calls and their name doesn’t pop up. I think, “Oh my God, who is this? They’ve never called before. This can’t be good.”
-A lot of laws are being passed around the country prohibiting driving while talking on your cell phone. And I think that’s good start, but we really need to extend the ban elsewhere. For instance, the other day I saw a woman in a motorized wheelchair crash into a bus stop because she was talking on her phone. And how about those fucking people you see in the street who clearly can’t talk on their cell phone and walk at the same time? They walk really slow, then speed up, then slow again, they’re swerving and shit, they walk across red lights. They are physically unable to walk and talk.
