everyone in my school has them. frankly, they just annoy me. i'm glad i don't have one. talking to some random person i can barely understand. i see them walking in the hall with them, talking. i'm much happier in my apartment talking on the phones that are there. my roommate has a cellphone. what the fuck does he need it for?

fact is, I have always wanted one from the very day I saw dick tracy had a two way wrist watch radio. I use mine all the time. here are some of the ways that I find it useful, and would rather not have to go back to the old way of being at home or stopping what you are doing to find a pay phone that works and the right change. - ordering food on the way home, so you can pick it up and don't have to go out again. - checking to see if you need milk at home while you're at the store, rather than guessing and getting the answer wrong. - tracking down friends you want to meet out, but have separate plans for earlier in the evening. - taking private calls in any situation and being able to walk where you will not be overheard or bother anyone. - passing time when stuck in traffic. that's right, I use it in the car. now you REALLY have a reason to hate me. - telling the person who is picking you up at the airport where you are, how to find you, if they are late, etc. - calling to see when a movies starts or a store closes or getting directions or seeing if they have the thing you are looking for before you bother going. - the ability to be "working" with a phone and laptop at a cafe, park, friends house, brothel... - not having to sit home all day waiting for the phone to ring when you are expecting an important call. - talking to my mom who is glad I have one because I am rarely home and she knows she can usually get me on my cell. There was probably a time when people said; "I'm glad I don't have a car. Frankly, I like walking, and don't need to go more than 2 or three miles from where I live". Things change, the ocean of time will forever send waves of progress toward the shores of establishment. Your best bet is to bust our your surfboard and go with it, kiddies.

I got one back in September when school started but I've only used it a couple of times. They tend to annoy me too because it seems EVERYONE here has one. It annoys me when someone's phone rings during class and it's NOT an emergency. I just use the cell phone when I am stuck in traffic, having some kind of trouble (manual or auto), or I know I'm going to be late. I call whoever it is I'm supposed to meet to tell them so they don't worry their asses off (this is especially crucial at night), or if I'm stranded somewhere. I've only given the number to immediate relatives so that way if there's some sort of family emergency I can be reached. I refuse to give the number to friends because I see them in class and elsewhere anyway and they have my e-mail and phone number at home. I am not going to die if I don't get to talk to them 24/7. In fact I NEED some time where I'm NOT talking to anyone. I don't understand why people feel it's so necessary to talk talk talk at any hour possible. Umm and having a 'private' conversation on a public bus is contradictory. Out here we're pretty much forced to listen to every freaking conversation known to man. Just because the person next to know doesn't know you doesn't make your conversation "private". I get weary when I have to use the phone in someone else's presence. I try to walk away and distance myself as much as possible when I'm using the cell phone - even if it's in an emergency situation. It's one thing if you use the phone for work, but it's another when it's some little girl chatting with her boyfriend where everyone can hear. Convenience seems to be more prevalent these days but it can annoy the crap out of everyone.

Silentbob better get his act together: you usually need cellphones in this world: they put you into contact, they are a means to power. Because cellphones allow us to control and manipulate others to our satisfaction their existance is justified. Control and manipulation is what everyone wants, only within certain fashionable paramenters by which they are falsely not called 'control' and 'manipulation.' Technology is only popular because they allow us to make other controllable. Does anyone like the crazyfrogringtone? It usually drives people nuts! No doubt this is one reason the crazyfrogringtone is so popular! Did you know their making a crazyfrogracegame! If I had my way I'd have sacrificed his sterile little balls to Lord Satan and closed crazyfrog live into a spikedcoffin. I enjoin you to praise cell phones for the violent thoughts they provoke, for each thought does honor to Lord Satan.

Um...yay... Anyway... In the modern era, information is prevelant as a means to advancement and power. Cellphones allow a freedom of movement to information that cannot be ignored. With them coordination, communication, and implementation are ideally simplistic. Can they and are they abused? Yes, just like any technology, or any other form of "power".

Your neglect of the penetration of evil into this website clearly demonstrates you do not understand the depth of the gift offered us by Lord Satan. Has Satan every talked to anyone on the telephone? Satan talked to me and I was damned and I sacrificed CrazyFrog's_Balls (while he looked on in pain) to do honour to Lord Satan. You should do the same (CrazyFrog's in my fridge now, sorry, he's taken).

Actually, Varg, you cannot kill the crazyfrog image. I think some internet nerd should create a game where you become a hitman who infiltrates the crazyfrogvideo and thus can shoot the damned frog at any point in the video and on any place on his body. There should be blood and changes of expression on crazyfrog's face. I have Satanic fantasies myself: I'd love to play a game where you knock crazyfrog off the missile in the last half of the video and he gets slaughtered by that robotcop as he's falling.
