I don’t either. I think I’m the last person under the age of 30 who doesn’t have one. I think it’s just a fad that will pass over. ;D Fight the power, Goldenroad!!!
The fact is, it would be nice to be able to get ahold of people whenever I want from where ever I want, but I don’t want people to be able to get ahold of me whenever they want, where ever I am.
one time i was riding my bike down the street innocently with a backpack on and some douche with a dumb girl in the front seat pulled over and stopped me and asked me if I “knew where a person could score some ICE in this town”
i’m still not positive on what he meant.
i’ve never heard such a term on Shakedown Street so i don’t know.
I didn’t know that Detroit was a meth town? I mean, I’m sure they have every drug, but isn’t Detroit more of a drinking town? Actually, I’m not sure WHAT we do around here…no one has any money anyway…
What if I don’t know the phone number? Plus, what do you guys pay for your cell phones, between actually buying the phone and your monthly fees? I pay $25 a month for my landline. That may be high, but no roaming charges, long distance is cheap, and I never have to charge up my phone. Maybe I’m crazy, but I just have never felt the need to own a cell phone. I’ve never been anywhere where I needed access to a phone, but couldn’t find one within about 5 minutes. I know my car could break down on the highway, but luckily everyone that drives by probably has a cell phone anyway.
And what if nobody stops? What if it’s the middle of the night, and there’s nobody on the road? What if a thousand others things happened just so it would make your life a thousand times more convenient to have one? It’s so nice to be able to have contact with people that are miles away from you anywhere you are, if only for emergencies. What’s more, even if you want to just use it for emergencies, you can just get a pay as you go plan cheap, and just buy the minutes you use. Either way, cell phones are most definitely not a fad, as El Bastarde put it.
You better start swimming
Or you’ll sink like a stone
For the times they are a changin’.
