I am going to come right out and say, I am anti cell phone. They were the worse invention and the best invention. We used to communicate face to face. Then it was telephone, cell phone, computer. They it got worse. We then communicated via facebook and texting. Technology was suppose to make staying connected easier. It seems it has made society further apart then ever. Many people aren't even with the friends they are with because they are talking or texting to someone else.
I saw a lady today walking and pushing a stroller. The occupant of the stroller was approximately 2ish. The lady pushing the stroller was blabbing on a cell phone. Really?
Enough said. Anything to add?
It's not the technology that's at fault it's how we choose to use it. Cell phones? Really handy when that car breaks down, when my daughter is stuck in traffic and needs me to pick up my grandson, when there's a medical emergency. On the other hand do you really need to call the family while you're behind the wheel of a car to find out what they want for supper, to tell the kids to have their homework done by the time you get home, talk to a friend about something good or bad happening in your life, order a pizza or Chinese food that you're going to pick up on the way home. Let it be said, it's not the use that's at issue but the abuse.
