What Would Life be Like Without a Cell Phone?

Can you imagine life without a cell phone?

Do I need just one cell phone or more than one?

  • For some, this might be your worst nightmare. Your personal hell. 

 

  • For others, life without a cell phone would be paradise. 

I had another one of many conversations with an out of state client whose REO purchase closes in a couple of days. She does not have a cell phone, and after our talk I found myself pondering... 

So what WOULD life look like without a cell phone??

No entertaining, and not so entertaining, ring tones to listen to

No text messages

No telemarketing calls (well at least not to your hip or purse)

No surfing the 'Net wherever you are (OK, most places)

No bothersome emails unless you sit down at your computer

No vibrating

No reminders in every meeting, in restaurants, and in church to turn off your phones

No frantic stepping out of a meeting room and running outside to get cell service

No dropping calls

No sprained thumbs

Bars would take on a whole new meaning. Or an old meaning

No bumping into trees, lamp posts, people or falling off the curb while texting and emailing (Seriously, injuries are increasing)

Social gatherings would all be live, and folks would look you in the eye when you are talking

No one talking at the top of their lungs walking down the street (alright, there may still be some of that)

Less pressure to respond instantly, no matter what you are doing (come one, admit you take calls and text in the bathroom)

Folks would drive their cars with both hands on the wheel.

People would dine out without chatting on their cells, or annoying others

No beaming or bumping 

I could go on, but you get the picture. 

There ARE folks who manage to get through life without cell phones. We ALL did for years. But I don't know that I could now. 

The thought of putting it away for a while or not taking it everywhere I go has some appeal. Until I really think about it and panic. I AM hooked. I admit it. You?
