Phoneless and Happy…

Most of my friends are angry that I often lose my phone and/or leave it uncharged.  Frankly with computers everywhere, I see no reason to also need a phone.  Bad enough that people can email me constantly asking me for things but then to give them the convenience of a phone and it leads to total disaster – constant questions hen you can just google and significant requests in which I do not have time to think about.  Phones can be useful in reading news and playing games that you are addicted to but not sure that the addiction is a good thing…

The world might be a better place without the constant phone calls and access to the internet.  Yes, this is ironic that I am posting on my blog and complaining about technology but there are some days where I miss just having a real conversation with someone without the constant beeping of alerts and interruptions.

On the other hand people who are addicted to cell phones are hysterical and they need to start a Cell/Mobile Phones Anonymous (CMPA) group for the extreme offenders.  If you need to jump onto a Broadway set minutes before the show will start to plug your cell phone into a set, you certainly qualify.
