Cell Phones

After contemplating Brand's viewpoint I got to thinking about the cell phone. As I type this mine is in my shirt pocket so I do partake in the usage of said device. But I cant help but wonder if life wouldnt be more simple without them. How many times have we had to drop what we are doing because of a cell phone? How much time have we wasted on them? Sure they make talking to people easier, and allows us to be connected to everyone all the time, but is that a good thing? Have we lost the ability to be individuals from being constantly connected to everyone else? I am not saying I am ready to throw mine away, I was just merely pondering their effects.
