- sfphotoarts 16y agoyou can always leave your cell phone at home, but for many the cellphone is an integral part of going somewhere. planning en route, picking alternative an rendezvous etc.
- stcredzero 16y agoI've noticed that some groups of people never meet at the place previously discussed. It's like "Hey, let's go to X" really means let's go some as-yet undisclosed location downtown.

- jerf 16y agoYour story is missing critical parts and makes no sense as written. It is unclear to me how not having a cellphone resulted in the law telling your brother's account that it is now mandatory for him to flee from the cops.

- vvpan 16y agoWith cellphones around people are never alone anymore. To my mind, this "aloneness" (does not mean you are feeling lonely, but could) is an integral part of a meaningful human experience.
- kleiba 16y agoIt's your own choice still. I don't have a cell phone and never had one.
