How important is your celll phone?
« on: May 21, 2017, 03:44:05 am »
If I leave my cell phone at home when I leave the house it feels like
I have left my eye glasses or car keys. It is scarey how important
that small computer is. We have the convenience of having a phone
in our pocket or purse that allows us to make calls, access contacts, schedules,
  emails, internet, etc.

I rely on mine to call for help if needed when i drive, funny part is i have only put 2000 miles on my Tahoe in 3 years, since i fell i only go to town to get my stuff done and pick up supplies, 20.00 in the gas tank pretty much lasts me all month.  Its 4 miles to town and I go 2 times a week. I uses to put 2000 miles on my truck in two weeks before.  But the cell phone gives me a sense of security at home and in the truck... but there are days i never touch it !

I use my cell phone a lot especially for work. I tell the new folks I remember a time when we didn't have cell phones. It seemed much easier.

Pretty important.  I use it for a lot of things other than chatting.  And I like knowing I have instant contact if something happens.

I just recently got a new cellphone in the past few months. Before that I was without one for almost 10 years. Honestly, the phone is more for emergencies. Otherwise I just run apps like Swagbucks or FC.

I was without one for 10 years myself...hate talking on any phone let alone a cellphone.
Do go out of town once in awhile and was worried about breakdowns.
Some jobs want you to have some type of cellphone...when you tell them you don't have one, they look at you like your from another planet.
Last week went and got a Tracfone flip cellphone...calls and text...good enough for me.
People are to wrapped up in their cellphones...getting in accidents and bumping into people while shopping...stupid.

I have nothing else to add, you said it all. Cellphones are essential.

I remember maybe 5 phone numbers and don't wear a watch so I tend to keep my phone with me. I like being able to have instant access to everything and I use my phone to make money as well.It's probably different for older generations that didn't grown up with cell phones versus my generation and younger that as always had technology

it's kinda important, just think back in the early 70's or early 80's we couldn't just pick up the phone in the movie theatre or in the park, now cell phones are every where, just pulled it out of a pocket and start talking.

I could care less about my cell phone. I would rather not have one. But need it for emergencies or for my kids.
