Hey guys just a general consensus how many people feel that you guys cannot live with out your mobiles? And how many of you know you guys cannot manage with it? (life or death situation or means of live sort of thing)
it's damn near impossible to organize anything as a University student without a cellphone since that's really the only guaranteed way to contact people moving about campus. Plus, it's a security thing, especially since My School is basically on top of a mountain, if I'm ever stranded by snow or any thing else I need to be able to contact someone (it's not very nice if I just disappear for 2 or 3 days without contacting anyone).
I mean it's not like I would literally be unable to function without a cellphone, I'll just be severely handicapped and inconvenienced.
Hey, there's no such thing as not being able to live without it.
We used to live without landline telephones (perhaps not you, but I did), email, computers etc.
However: We use the technology that's available to us, and get used to it.
Myself, I used cell phones for 15 or so years before I retired 18 years ago (worked for Bell). (And no, I don't have a Bell cell phone now).
Now, my wife is severely mobility-challenged (wouldn't quite use the word "handicapped").
I drop her off at a store with her walker, and when she's finished, she calls me.
I drive her to the hairdresser, and when she's finished, she calls me.
Could we live without mobiles? Of course we could - but it would severely reduce the quality of life - and her independence
(BTW, it was also very handy when on New Year's eve 2000 I rolled the car into a ditch in a high snow drift on a country road).
I do live without a cell phone in Canada, even though I have one for when I'm visiting Europe. I would love to have one here too, but every time I review the offers of the current companies I feel like someone tries to take an advantage of me.
Somehow I don't think I'm the only one like this....
