I gave up my personal cell phone. I have no desire to become a cell zombie, either voluntarily or involuntarily. I have seen entire families at a restaurant ignore one another while waiting on their food. Not conversation at all. Just cell phone crap.
When the food arrives they cannot bear to be without their phone for more than a few bites of food. The parents are just as bad as their children.
Well, cell phones can and do serve an important purpose, if used properly. Many people need their cell phones for job-related issues and some people have families and kids. Its always good to have a cell phone, especially so your significant other can reach you in case of an emergency with your kids. I don't agree with the notion that cell phones are all bad and we should do without them.
There is a big difference between using your cell phone at work or for an emergency call, compared to using your cell phone when out to dinner withyour family. You just need to balance the use of time you spend on your cell phone. Balance is the key. But people are not good with balance. We eat too much, sleep too little, and are overworked. We care too little, and are too greedy with our needs. Like most things, you just need a balance.
