I just asked my husband why he always has negative things on his blog, so this is not negative. I wanted to comment on how much I LOVE cell phones. I love listening to other people's conversations wherever I go ( apparently you have to yell when you use a cell phone). I love every class I'm in getting interrupted by someone's phone, and they ALWAYS answer it! I actually called someone once not realizing she was in the hospital having a baby at that very moment and her husband who answered handed her the phone! Oh and My all time favorite; I was sitting in a movie theatre watching a suspensful, somewhat scary movie and the girl sitting next to me was text messaging the whole time! Those screens are bright. Plus she was messaging someone who was also in the theatre but was sitting somewhere else.
I'm so glad that so many people now are important enough to need a way to get a hold of them at all times. And it's not just doctors and drug dealers. I'm so glad my friend in Seattle can call me from the bowling ally, and the Chinese restaurant, and the video game store, and her car. Because I would hate for her to get bored just talking to me. I'm also so glad that people have something to distract them from the tediousness of driving now. I hate it when all I have to do is follow traffic laws and not get into accidents. Man I wish I had someone to talk to while I cut people off and ignore traffic lights.
See, I'm not complaining this was all the positive feelings I have about cell phones. Okay, so I'm sure they aren't all bad, but what is it they say about things that can be used for good......
