I don't use a phone.


Too many people spend money they haven't earned, to buy things they don't want, to impress people they don't like.

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.

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
