He has no cellphone!

Thanks for this discussion, yes it is not that essential for many so long they have not used it, but once some one starts using it becomes essential.

This young man sounds like a wise one. We really should start a club. I don't have a cell phone and do find with out one. Glad I am not the lone ranger.

ya know, I opened this right after some stranger sent me a dating site on my cell phone... I sometimes wish I didn't have one! When WE were 20 we didn't have cell phones. I hate it when I see people walking around the store talking to someone on their phone rather than paying attention to where they are going!

Even though, I still think a cellphone is necessary. Here almost everybody has a cellphone. People like to keep in touch with each other by the cellphones. As not everybody gets online all the time. The calling is still common to keep in touch with each other.

I have a friend who has a Blackberry that sits comfortably on top of the closet without being used. She considers it a distraction but she has it anyway because it was a gift from her boyfriend. The phone serves as her alarm clock. She prefers chatting with her friends through Facebook or email. I simply can't survive without a cell phone. It has become an indispensable part of of my being.

In this case, he must keep online on facebook all the time. Thus as soon as someone asks him out, he can know and reply immediately. In China, there is a very very famous host who is a polymath and expert in dialects. But he hardly know how to use the computer. I guess he has his own way to manage to the news.

That is unusual for someone that young but I like it. I have a tracphone that I only use for emergencies but I don't think that is uncommon with people in my age group.

How refreshing!! I'll bet he's a happy person, too, that enjoys life without the constant ringing of a phone. I find it very sad that no one lives in the moment anymore; they allow distractions from these phones to intrude on every event in their lives. The machine now controls us instead of us controlling it.

I don't think it's all that strange... If it wasn't for work reasons, I wouldn't want a cell phone either... I do have facebook account but I don't really use it all that much... I'd much rather talk to someone face to face myself...

Hi, Add me here, I can live without a cellphone too. I have one but I usually turn it off or leave it at home when I go out. I think if people want to have business with me, it is good to see them personally and not over the phone or the net. I find mobile phone so annoying when lots people call or send me text messages and tell me to do this and to do that or to go where, why I fell more relaxed without my phone bugging me all the time. I can concentrate more on the job at hand or relax on that secluded place having no undue interference to disturb me.

yes that is strange because almost everyone nowadays especially the young ones have a cellphone but that is good cannot live without one..but also i think he should get one because it is not all the time we can have access to facebook or can see people face to face..few people can live without it.

It's weird for me, too, but if he can live without it, good for him, With that being said, most serious workplaces want you to have a cell phone, if they wanna reach you. I wouldn't give my cellphone up, for this reason - what if I can't be reached when something urgent happens, like one of my beloved has an accident, or my boss wants me to comne in on my day off?

it really depends on a person if she or he needed a cellphone.. everybody now has a cellphone even if they don't need it.. now a days cellphone offers a lot.. it is not just for messaging or for calling.. it has now games, internet access and a lot more.. so i admire people who can live without it because i must admit i cant live without it.. the moment i wake up first thing i grab is my cellphone..

well I kinda understand him though I do have a cellphone I barely use it for the same reason if i want to talk to someone I use facebook or skype and outside home I`m with my friends already however still I think he will get a cellphone sooner or later cuz some situations really require a cellphone

Its nice, he was able to control his self about the things he like and its less in expenses, he will not worry about the mobile load expenses. And he has a point, we talk to our friends without using mobile phones. But the disadvantage is, we can not tell people if we are in danger or we need help if we don't have mobile phone.

I think it's really doable ~ not having cellphones around. But I think since we have the option to allow people to contact us, then why not? However, it's good that this person hasn't formed an attachment to phones though - it may be a good thing. But for me, I think that's difficult because there's a lot of things that I do over my cellphone, my job requires me to have one. But I always turn it into private mode when it's already night time, so that nobody can disturb me (except for my family of course). Have a great mylot experience ahead!

I wish I can live like that too. But for now, it is just not possible. I need a phone not just for entertainment but also for convenience and even for emergencies. My parents, my family, my friends and my co-workers may need me, the same way I might need them. Have a nice day!

Wow, that's really surprising! I'm 20 and I have a cellphone but I don't have facebook and I think the opposite of facebook..if I need to talk to someone I have their number. A cellphone is just convenient because you can get a hold of someone no matter where you are. With Facebook, you'd have to always be near the computer rather than having a phone on the go. I wonder if he has a house phone instead...

I like having a cell phone with having kids, I want someone to be able to get in touch with me where ever I am if something happened to them at any time. But it is very surprising for someone that age not to have one! Most young adults do have a cell phone. My cell phone is the only phone that I have...

Hello Blue65packer! Well, i am interesting to know how someone can live without cellphone too, but i think that's his or her choice to live without a cellphone
