I don't own a cell phone or a pager, Blackberry or anything like that. And no, I don't twitter.

Seems I’ve done rather well without all this technology.

Personally, I can't understand the attraction of all these devices. For some people a pager/cell phone may be necessary for business purposes. But I think most people go around with these things just to flaunt their “wealth” and to look cool.

Really, what is so important that you have to page or text or call someone from your vehicle while driving? Probably nothing.

Well, my cell phone is how my children get in touch with me when I go somewhere or how I keep in touch with my husband when he’s at work.

My favorite scene is a group of young folks, probably a dozen and a half visiting the beach here and walking in a group. Every one of them had a cell phone stuck his ear. All were involved in animated electric conversation and oblivious to the people they were vixiting the beach with, unless they were talking to each other and just did not know how to do that without the cell phones.
I had a Net-10 cell once for one use in order to meet someone in a huge airport with only a few minutes time. I subsequently gave away the phone and the remaining minutes. When I am out of touch I want to be out of touch.
