Cellphones

Today as I drove past several people on the street, I could not help but notice that the cell phone is very dangerous. I mean I know that for me the cell phone means a quick link to the puss and big puss if anything goes wrong. I am sure this is the case with most people.

However, to some it seem to be nothing other than an expensive toy, to show off who has the better gadget. Way back in the day when there was no cellphone, you would have to wait from someone to get home before you were able to call them. God forbid there was an emergency, you would have to wait to get to the nearest home or callbox.

Then there was the invention of pagers, but back then it was only doctors who had that luxury. Somehow, it found it's place in the public and so that one could leave a callback number or a short text if you will. However, you still had to wait for the recipient to get to a phone. Then came the huge cellphones that looked like walkie talkies with buttons. Those suckers could have easily been used as weapons (LOL).....I know... I had one. Those who had one, proudly show them off. Those who didn't have, could only wish.

Cellphones have evolved so much over the years, that now it's more of a nusiance than a necessary commodity for some. People call all hours of the day (nevermind that you are at work).

Caller: "hey where are you?"
Me: "uuuuuum, at work"
Caller: "can you talk?"
Me: "uuummm, no"
Caller: "what you doing,later?"
Me: *rolling my eyes* *silence*
Caller: "hello" "hello"
Me: "I have to go"
Caller: "guess you can't talk now"
Me: *hanging up the phone"

Then there are the early morning talkers (3am-8am), what in name of Jesus could you seriously be talking about at that time of the morning. There are some that talking and walking cannot be achieved at the same time. They stand in the middle of the sidewalk, saunter across the road with no regard for the motorist..... uuuuum news flash here in the big NYC you will get run over by uncaring drivers who are also texting and driving.

Some people cannot even drive, and if they so much as take their eyes off the road for a second, they end up in Mr. Chin corner shop. Let alone talking and driving and worse yet texting and driving.

Cell phone.....the evil necessity.
