No Cell Phones

We are currently living in a society in which we are truly at the mercy of our machines. Nearly every aspect of our lives involves technology and I highly doubt that a large majority of people would be able to survive, if their technological advantages were to fail them. Although technology does have many positive aspects, it cripples many people to the point at which they cannot even process information without a computer. Yes, people do use text messaging as a means of communication, but I strongly believe that cell phone communication prevents people from developing substantial relationships with others.

Do you know all of the numbers in your cell phone, by heart? If not, do you at least know the important ones? If not, you might want to consider learning them. Technology only goes so far. If we did not have cell phones, there would be pay phones everywhere and people would most likely have better social skills. There would be more house phones and maybe people would realize how much time they waste. GameBoy’s and PSPs would be more popular because more phones these days do more than make calls. Nevertheless, life would be very different and a time without cell phones seems pretty odd, as of now. Maybe people would be more focused in school and people would have a sense of memorization, instead of relying on their phone to do everything for them. We would still see Carrot Top on the commercials telling us to dial ATT on a pay phone.
