Many people cannot imagine leaving home without a cell phone. Yet if you are over the age of 50 you remember a time when cell phones did not exist and thus you went everywhere without one. Indeed you may have even been a very late adopter of the technology we all take for granted today? Now then can you imagine leaving your home without your cell phone? Many believe this is the case and some say that most Americans are enslaved to our cell phones and will not leave home without them.

Regarding being enslaved to a cell phone that is silly. It is a choice and a convenience. I rarely use a cell phone; I do not play video games, although am finally getting around to considering the home Video Game due to Bill Gate's major improvements and all the teamwork of the latest designers on the Xbox.

Can you imagine a day not playing a video game? Probably but like a cell phone it too is a choice and a convenience. It is entertainment VS the television or in many cases it is the Television, but a choice to the current programming on the TV Guide.

Many people say that Cell Phones keep us safe incase of emergency on the road or a problem such as being stuck in traffic or such. And this is true, which may at least be part of the reason you will not leave home without your cell phone. But you are not enslaved to it. It is enslaved to you. Think on this in 2006.
