Cell phones are the way we connect to the world or is it? Most of society uses cell phones to connect to network with people they know, having personal conversations in public places. It is rare to find a community that is close, because cell phones don't promote establishing new relationships with people we aren't familiar with. A perfect example would be T-Mobile and their "my faves" plan, which reduces the use of one's minutes by applying no charge to talking to people in the "my faves" list.
Do we control cell phones or are cell phones in contol of us? Can we go a whole day without our cell phones? Most would struggle with a challenge such as this. However, there are some that do make efforts to not have their lives controlled by cell phones. These people turn off their phones, leave them at home, or find other methods to separate themselves from this cultural epidemic.
On the other side of the spectrum, there are those who wish they could use their cell phones wherever they go. Many petition for cell phone use on planes, trains, and other mass transit systems that hinder cell phone signals.
Why don't you try leaving your cell phone away for a certain period of time? You might be shocked.
