If you have a choice, would you rather not have a cellphone?

hello theredquill! If I still have a choice, I would still choose to have a cellphone. Cellphone is very helpful to us. Although I agree with you that many have lost their lives because of cellphones, it still depends upon the person. I use my cellphone for business only and for some important matter. So I don't think my life would be easier again without cellphone.

A few years back I had to carry a pager and cell phone with me everywhere I went because of my job. I used have one of those pay $100 a year for activation then buy minutes as you need them. When I left my last job I no longer needed the pager, and I also found out that I hardly ever used the cell phone, so when my year was up, I had my phone shut off. I am free of electronic gadgets attached to my belt and my ear, and I am glad for it. I get along nicely without either of them. Although it would be nice to have a cheap cell phone in case of an emergency.

Without living a cell phone is possible for me but its is a need as you also mention it in your discussion. You can see that the cell phone can be used for many things like toinform the persons before time if we not want to meet with them or some time when we are in such a situtation where we need help, at that ocassion the cell phone is the only way to take us out of that problem. You have faced something wrong that is just because of your bad luck.

Hello, theredquill. If I had the choice, I would not rather not have a cellphone. By this, I mean I wouldn't change anything. I'd still have mine, because, other than just a necessity, a cellphone can help you in an hour of need. What would be its substitute? None. Cellphone is something that is vital nowadays. Not for me, since I do not rely on it, but for many who work and need to get their companies running. For many employees that receive orders on what to do next. For many people who want to keep in touch with friends by sending them quick messages. A person will usually see the cellphone more often than their e-mail account. If you have a message, it will ring. It will let you know. But the e-mail account won't. Respectfully, Munhozmib.

I can very well live without a cellphone. I have lost my cellphone just some time back. So I have now learnt to live without one. I think people lived without cellphones in the past and everything was going on and on. So I think I can for sure live without the cellphone.

Cellphones have by far become the ultimate necessity.Life has become so dependent on these small gadgets that we can't imagine to walk out of the house without them.People are just a call away.The world has come closer and easily accessible. Everything used in excess has its porns and cons,it is not the fault of cellphones but of the persons who are using it.As knife can be both used for cutting an apple and neck.so it is not the fault of knife but of the person who is using it for wrong means.

Hi, If i have a choice, i would rather choice to have a cellphone. Its actually very useful for us. I agree people have lost their lives due to it, but it depends upon person. I think one should not ignore using it, as it proves to be helpful, but one can always try to minimize its use. Then it can be both ways, you won't be addicted to it and you can take it advantage as well. Cheers..!!

I like cellphones. I would not choose a life without a cellphone. That is because firstly I am addicted to it, and secondly, I feel it's extreme necessity. But there is one thing I would like to avoid. The cell phone radiation. This electromagnetic radiation can kill thousands, and render more people sick. It can cause deadly tumors, and thus I want the new generation cell phones to reduce this risk.

I'm afraid for me, cell phones are a luxury, lol. I have a landline and even that is expensive, but, I use it also for internet. I could live without a cell phone. In fact, my husband was the one who got the cell phone. We've had it for six years. It's just a basic phone that doesn't take pictures or play music or text.

I hate it when those irritating service messages come when I'm enjoying a quiet walk with my girlfriend. My mood goes off when I go out with my girlfriend and my dad calls and asks where I'm. But I love my cell phone to contact her whenever I miss her. I love my cell phone when her network is not available and I can text her so that it gets delivered as soon as she is in network telling her I'm worried. Ya the robbery things go on around in my areas too but it only teaches me to take care of my things... As an answer to your question, I would say, I like my cell phone and I cant live without it but I wish I could switch it off without hurting anyone's feelings... Happy new year buddy...

i cant live without my cellphone because since i am working abroad,i am away from my family and my boyfriend. and the most importatn thing is communication. i miss writing letters too. . . but ofcourse I cant have a chat with my family&bf if we are going to talk through letters. i understand how you feel when you had the robbery incidents,what i can advice is to use the old,cheap but handy and cute phones available in the market for you not too experience the robbery thing. God Bless!!

yeah i’d like the life when the cellphone haven’t step into ourlife before? the cost is really high in my location even regardless other cons of the cellphone useing?i also prefer to write and receive letter what write by hand ? it‘s precious to save but nowdays we exchange , contact, even love with short by cellphone? and del it sooner???

I don't think I could live without my phone becasue I use it everyday. For texting/phoneing friends. Its a really good way of keeping in touch plus I think its much easier and quicker than writing a letter. Although you could use e-mail. So I think it is quite an important part in a lot of peoples lives

I don't think I could live without my phone becasue I use it everyday. For texting/phoneing friends and its a really good way of keeping in touch. I have not been robbed of mine before and I hope it doesn't happen but I suppose it could happen to any of our gadgets.

i need my cell phone because we cancelled our land line to save money. i need to be reached in case the school needs to contact me when my son is in school when i am out and running errands and such. to me, at this point it is a necessity in my life. it is a lifeline so to speak.

yeah i had same experience as you had. and so i wanted not to have cellphone if only i would not need it. i am not any more excited or happy having a cellphone as i did before when i had my new phone. now it seems like i can live without it and will not bother at all if i will not be able to hold a cellphone for a long time.

I've had my first mobile phone when i was in 6th grade.. imagine, i've been using this small gadget for so many years and i don't think i can live without it.. it's a necessity nowadays..

well, yop, i would...cellphones are adding to my expenses now...

I cannot imagine my life without a cellphone.I feel handicapped without it.If I do have a choice I will still have a cellphone. It is the only way I can stay in touch with all my school friends and also my parents as I have to stay away from home because my college is in another city.So,going without a cellphone for even a day will surely drive me mad.I really cannot afford to not have it.:)

Hello there, it always depends from person to person and personal experience. Bascially, i would prefer to have a mobile phone always with me, the reason is, this particular gadget keeps me connected with my friends abroad, with my family when am out of home, and its now a days mobile even keep me relaxed via its music players and i can take picture of particular events that i have witnessed. If no mobile, i ll have to carry a player to listen to music and a camera to take pictures, and to communication i ll have to look for another option. So what do you think about that??
