Can You Hear Me Now? A co-employee of mine, Richard, is deep into cell phones. Everyday, He spends what seems like hours on his phone; talking, text- messaging, playing games, surfing the web, and blasting the latest radio hit as a polyphonic ring tone. At first, I was amused. “Wow! You mean that I can check my e-mail, and chat with my friends on AIM (AOL Instant Messenger) at the same time, no matter where in the world I may be?” I asked. He briefly replied “Yep!” My second response was “Amazing! I can’t believe it!” The incorporation of technology and communication into a small device may seem like a wonderful idea to some, but when given to the wrong people, cell phones can become something I find very annoying. I agree there are numerous advantages to carrying a phone on your persons, such as emergencies, reminders, or if your running late. It always helps to instantly be in touch with someone, especially if your lost at midnight, in the middle of nowhere with a flat tire. Cell phones have become a common item due to the low prices that are now offered to any and everyone. I have a cell phone, and I use it often to call my friends up while I’m out and about, just to see what their up to. The portability and slim design of phones now make them easy to carry; no more carrying around a brick sized phone on your belt. So many people have phones nowadays that there are numerous websites on the internet dedicated to offering the plan that is best for you. Not only that, but there are sites where people talk about nothing, but their cell phone.
