Not that I’m very popular or get a bunch of texts and phone calls, but when my phone crapped out on my on Thursday, I’ve been waiting for a replacement to come in. Yep, I’ve had to live 5 days without a cell phone. Not just a cell phone, a smart phone. A smart phone with the abilities to keep me connected to everything and anything anywhere. Of course, you probably already knew that. So…that was dumb of me to have to explain what a smart phone was. Anyway, despite that fact, I have been phoneless and now that I reflect…it didn’t affect me much.
Sure people can’t get a hold of me unless I’m at my laptop and yeah, maybe there isn’t a way for me to contact anyone should I be away from a phone. Hell, I haven’t memorized any of my friend’s and family’s phone numbers, so I’m pretty screwed if I need to call someone on the fly. Yet, after the first couple of days of whining…yeah, I was whining I didn’t have a phone, its so useful…I learned to cope. I actually don’t mind not having a phone for the most part. It makes life harder, but I can control who talks to me and all that, with ease like the old days. When cell phones didn’t exist. But how would booty calls and relationships work without a phone?
Could you set up dates as easily, see how the other person is doing, flirt? How would you send each other naughty, naked pictures of each other? The real question and the real dilemma is, could you survive without a cell phone? I may not receive me phone today, I’ve waited 5 days, what’s one more? I’m excited and yet disappointed at the same time. I get my phone again, which is great, but…I lose my ability to be picky about who I communicate with in the process. Not that I don’t like people or anything, it was just kind of cool to have that kind of power.
So I pose you all the question again. Could you survive without a cell phone? Do you need it in your everyday life? What would you do if you couldn’t have your cell phone for a week?
