Can you survive without your mobile phone?

Yes so i can not miss what i do not have... My kids keep trying to get me one...but i keep refusing...If anyone need to get a hold of me they can call the house phone, or get me on Facebook.... I feel that my time away from the house is when im doing something that needs done, or something that enjoy doing and i do not need the distraction of a phone attached to my hip.

Wow, really? No offense meant but you are one of the few people I heard who doesn't have a mobile phone (except for the younger kids, of course)

yes this is so true but there are times when i just want to throw it and breek it

At least people can still contact you even when you're outside your house. It's easier to communicate through phones especially when internet connection is not available.

The thing nowadays is that you can use your mobile phone to access the Internet. I also don't make a lot of calls and texts but I use my phone for Internet purposes since its less bulky compared to a laptop.

I agree with you there. Mobile phones are our primary source of communication, especially when it comes to talking to our family or loved ones. Can you just imagine if we're still doing the traditional way of writing letters to our family members, it will take days or weeks before they can even get the letter and respond to it. SO yes, I have to agree with you on that :)

Mobile phones these days are multi-functional and there's so much you can do with it compared to phones 10 years ago. I also find it convenient to surf the Internet through phone because at times, I'm too lazy to get my laptop :))

I think that mobile phone is still the primary tool for communication, especially when you live across the continent while your family is on the other side. It's easier because you don't need an internet connection to be able to make a call.

Yeah, but not everybody wants the samething... I'd rather want a phone that does just that, call & text... For 24 years I've been using cell phone, I've pretty much have used just about all types of cell phones out there & for my use, I found a basic phones most useful for me... There's few hundred thousand apps out there, I'm using 8 of them on my ipad... And I'm only using 2 of them on a daily basis... I don't play games or listen to music or take pictures on my phone or ipad... I have ipod, ps3 & digital camera for that... I'm not that big into games & I'm normally not bored enough to resort to games on the phone... I have ipod classic with 160gig memory & 4,990 songs in it, which may not be as many as some people but it is my entire music library... Last time I took pictures on my phone while I was on vacation, pictures took so much room in my phone it started to slow down my phone, even crashed it few times so I had to turn it off & on again few times... Wasn't so convenient for me... Ended up loosing 1/2 the pictures I took just so I can free up some room on my phone to get it to work properly... I'll keep things just the way they are for me...

Yes, although there are still others who would want everything in a single gadget since its easier to carry and manage. It's just a matter of preference and choice.

So how was life back then? But of course, water and electricity are different. These are basic commodities a compared to mobile phones.

Which is really ironic because back in the 90s, it is rare to find people who owns a mobile phone and we pretty much survived the day. But now, people are like so attached to their phones and claim they can't live without it.

Yeah mobile phone right now it technology very near like.a desktop. We also can surf internet everywhere using mobile phone.

And you don't have to bring your laptop all the time, especially when you're just after surfing the net.

I understand :) mobile phones these days are multi-functional and more convenient to use especially when it comes to surfing the net.

Some people, like you, can live with having no phone :) I think it really depends on the person because there are those whose phones are really important to them because they have all their contacts and schedules in there.

That's right. As I've said in my previous replies, mobile phone is still the most convenient tool for communication, especially when it comes to important matters. I can't imagine how to reach out to someone in case of emergency without using my phone.

Well some do get dependent on their phones, especially when everything they needed is there :) Plus, its easier to communicate through mobile phones.

I'm curious, how do people contact you? :)

Of course because after all, cell phones are still the primary and most convenient tool to communicate with other people

Cellphones nowadays have a lot of use. Definitely its more than just call and text. And I think that when it comes to emergency, reaching someone through phone is the easiest and most convenient way to contact one another.

Well if you do have Skype in order to talk to people you need to talk to, then there's no use for a mobile phone. Plus, its for free :)

In your case, you do really need a phone. And its much safer to call someone to pick you up rather than commute :)

I'm sorry to hear about that. Pickpocket is very common these days.

At least your boss won't be able to contact you and give you orders :))
