I don't use a phone.

I'd be lost without my phone. I use it as an MP3 player, I have loads of J-Rock/Visual Kei/J-Pop etc pictures stored on it, I have videos stored on it, I use it as a camera and video recorder to keep my Facebook and YouTube accounts up-to-date, I sometimes check my Facebook on it, I use it as an alarm to get up for college, or to remind me of things I've to do, I tried to put a Japanese dictionary app on it, but it didn't work and of course I stay in touch with family and friends on it using its purpose of calling people and texting. I take it everywhere with me. If you find me, you'll find my phone. I am never separated from it.

Goodness me its incredible that todays phones can do all those things. Unheard of not long ago.


everything in one package.


I just have a simple mobile phone-- which I use only in emergency.

I prefer watching videos on my tv monitor.

However its fantastic what these modern wonders can do.




for someone who grew up without phones-- only the wealthy would have had a real telephone. It was a real luxury.


what will happen in the next ten years I wonder. what would you like to be the next great technological wonder?


I want something to do all my house work for me just at the flick of a switch.

A car that will take me where ever I desire-- able to avoid crowded roads.


Actually I am disappointed that we still use cars. I would have thought we could be transported through space effortlessly-- as in STAR TREK.

When will aeroplanes be obsolete?

I have a Blackberry, and I mainly use it for getting in contact with people when I am not home as well as for emergencies. Last week my car broke down and I was stuck on the side, I was very thankful to have my phone with me. I don't think its necessary to have a phone if you use it to just listen to music or play games. But to each his own, I suppose. :)

ooohhh yes I do,
could you imagine how many more "items" I'd need to carry around with me if I had a different one for each individual purpose?

The convenience of having it all in one package is so great, the dependency isn't but it was there anyways.

JamboP26 12-16-2010 09:01 AM

To further RealJames' point, while you would ordinarily carry all that stuff with you, they are on the phone so you have to adapt to it. If it's there, use it
