So much for your objective point of view Texas girl1 19th century? I didn't need a cell phone 10 years ago (and I bet your hubby didn't either,) and why should I need one now? Do you follow every fashion fad? Are you even aware of the existence of fashion fads? Can you imagine living without say television? Oh well, it's a lost cause, anybody he doesn't embrace a groovy trend is a Luddite, isn't he?
No, you may not have "needed" a cell phone 10 years ago....and you didn't "need" a microwave oven 20 years ago.....they are called conveniences.....
That arguement is a little lame....... there are new discoveries and inventions all the time.....in case you are too blind to remember, there were people trapped under the World Trade Center building that used CELL PHONES to call for help........ but, according to you they are such a damn nuisance.........
