who doesn't have a cellphone today ?
well i kinda remember my old days
here about five to eight years ago, cellphone is still a luxurious item for people
when someone carrying a cellphone, people will tag the person as a rich one
in my high school, only somel students got a cellphone
the others who didn't have must use the public telephone to make a call
i got my first cellphone in high school,
when i was transferring from the junior to the senior high school
my country is not a fast developing one, so technology is also not delivered proportionately
but today ? even my five years old cousin has a cellphone
and he got the latest nokia n series !!
hahaa.. so much different with my era.. LoL

Hello unuzzz,
When I was still schooling, I used to write letters to my friends and used fixed line or public telephone to make a call. Nobody brings hand phone to school. I got my first hand phone when I started working, like 12 years ago. It was very bulky indeed and looked more like a walkie talkie. But everything changed. Nowadays, hand phone is a necessary item to have. It doesn't show what kind of lifestyle you lead anymore. Even my 70 years old mother has the latest hand phone compare to me. Thanks to my elder brother who bought it for her!

hi gr8life ^^
hahaa, i got the latest series of cellphone in my family
i don't think this gadget as a top priority in my needs, hehee
so i'll keep my out-of-date cellphone until it broke
well here people are very consumptive
getting the most 'happening' one will place them on the top
it's like a kind of competition that time ^^
but today it's no longer a rare item
i think those people have got other things to compete LoL
thanks for responding gr8life .. ^^

hi subha12
yeah sometimes i don't think it's necessary too ^^
what looks ridiculous to me is onetime, my cousin is using her cellphone to call her friends
but when i listen to her secretly, hahaa,
[ seriously i'm very curious, what could a 6 years old talk about on their phone ?? hahaa ]
and .. she talk without direction with her friends
first she talked about her other friends being whine, the next suddenly she reprimanded her friend on the phone
hahaa, i just laughed hard that time .. LoL
anyway, thanks for responding subha12 ^^

What you're saying is certainly true. Kids want their own cell phones never mind that they do not know how to dial anyone. They still want to do it and the problem is these cell phones might be snatched or stolen if brought to school. What child with a cell phone will not bring it to school? Cheers!!

hi underdogtoo
hahaa, yeah you're right !!
it's very susceptible for them carrying cellphone
they will be an easy target for those bast*rds villain out there
some parents should not let their under age children carrying such things
i'm afraid that it'll lead to another crime than just a robbing,
like kidnapping etc .. ^^
anyway, thanks for responding underdogtoo !!

Hi,
yeeh,when I was young, only the rich had telephones.
Now there are how many person in one family, how many cellphones will the family has.
Even in the elementary school, even little guys got one. but I am worried about the radiation, the phone is't good for their health.
and the bigger problem is even we relised this point, we just can't live without the phone.

hi,
now a days in the early age of children they can get and have now cellphone,because cellphone today is not that expensive when we compare before,but for me it is still not advisable in a children at the age of 6 to have his/her own cellphone,maybe when he/she already reach the secondary level then they could have their own phone.+

well a day might come when a new born baby asks for his phone instead of Maa being his first word. Actually today it has become a necessary for everyone to carry a phone but a six year old , it think that is too much how can the child handle it and even if if he can it just a waste and a luxury for him
