Cell Phones

Write about your favorite invention. What has made your life easier since you’ve been using it? Who makes it and what does it do? What are the benefits of this invention? What are the negative results of using this invention? If you could improve it, what would you do?

My life has become so integrated into technology that i actually care more when my cell phone gets lost than when my wallet with my license, school ID, debit card, library card, personal items, two free movie passes and twenty bucks gets lost. btw twenty dollar reward to anyone who finds my wallet :P

on a similar note, ive realized how much my life revolves around technology to the point where i actually depend on it. it has become a necessity. an addiction. it wakes me up in the morning. it entertains me. it cleans me. it allows me to see around my house. it even tells me what to do sometimes. i found that i actually listen to what my mother says more when she says it via text message than when she says it to my face. I even remember it better. for some reason "go to bed. NOW!" is more intimidating to me when she is texting it from her bed at 12am.

Dear cell phone innovators,
We have enough cell phones to make us all unique individuals who all conform under your tyranny. Our need to be constantly be connected to our friends and family has awarded you the opportunity to rape our wallets and social life. And by installing cameras that send pictures...what the hell were you thinking? there are kids as young as 12 years old who are now locking themselves in their bathrooms to take naked pictures of themselves to send to guys who honestly only just want to send it to every other guy they know. You have cleverly managed to build your own underground child pornography service that has at the same time passed conveniently under your own noses as well as the law enforcement's watchful eyes.

just stop making us smaller, cooler, more colorful cell phones. we dont need fun little one dollar applications to occupy our attention when we have five minutes of down time on the bus or in the subway. people need to pull their souls out of their cell phones in those five minutes and observe the world. observe people. or just observe the depths of their own minds.

We have enough cell phones. You have made such an abundance of new cell phones that it seems like you are coming out with one every week. cell phones should not be like a new style of clothing that defines us as an individual. they are machines. they are gadgets that run on batteries. batteries that often pile up in landfills destroying our eco systems. stop making us new cell phones and start making us things we actually need. like jetpacks or more efficient eco friendly engines. or jetpacks :)
