3. They are rude. You can be in a conversation with someone face to face and the phone rings and your face to face conversation stops while the other person starts a new conversation with someone that is not even there. And even if they do not stop your conversation to answer the phone there is still the distraction.
4. Ring tones. If you want to listen to a song get an MP3 player with headphones. I don't want to listen to your beep beep rendition of Opps I Did It Again.
5. Crappy photo quality. Get a camera. Or if you want to be really cool get a Go Go Gadget Calculator Watch that can take photos and has a walkie talkie and water gun built in.
6. They cause car wrecks. Do not use your cell phone while driving.
7. I do not want to listen to you talk on the phone. Everywhere I go people are talking. Take a break. It is ok to be quite by yourself for a few minutes each day.
8. Cell phones at movies, restaurants, parks and anywhere else are a big distraction both for the person on the phone and the people that have to listen to the person on the phone.
9. Cell phone companies are evil to their customers plus they are spammy and I have to see their advertisements. I hate advertisements. Except the ones on this site  Though I have a plan to remove them.
10. Unless your child is a drug dealer they do not need a cell phone that can call anyone besides their parents and 911.
11. I much prefer talking in person. I think is good for everyone to try to interact face to face more often.
12. I find phones distracting. They often ring when I am concentrating on something.
13. Their is the possibility that they are bad for your brain.
14. They are not private. Easily taped and can be used to track you by GPS. This doesn't bother me. Seems like it would only affect criminals. |
1. thats is your opinion
2. if u wana be hard to reach jst it the ignore button
3. switch it to vibrate
4. set it to vibrate, also some people rather have a music ringtone than a crappy ring, also some phones have an MP3 player built in
5. what if you can't afford a digital camera or if you do you don't wana bring it. the phones the next best option
6. thats true, but if you wana talk n drive at the same time buy a bluetooth headset.
7. people do take breaks, u just can't call someone 24 7 that would be verry annoying.
8. see #3 or just turn it off
