ten reasons why to drop your cell phone
I've never had one, and as long as I can, I never will. Now I've got ten reasons not to! Rob Beschizza at the Wired Blogs Gadget Lab has given "ten reasons why to drop your cell phone":- It makes your life more complicated
- It's horribly expensive
- It enslaves you to a one-sided contract
- It makes you perpetually available
- It is boring
- It must constantly be recharged
- It knows where you are
- It encourages stupid people to become a public menace
- Ubiquitous pleather accessory shops
- It turns you into a public annoyance

Yeah, but it lets you read your favorite blogs while sitting on the toilet, and it doesn't get as hot as a laptop while so doing. That alone outweighs all the other stuff.
My only comment is on the expensive part. Right now the only phone contact I have is a cell phone because I'm paying $10 /month as part of a family plan. I realize most normal cell phone services cost 40-50$. But anyway, right now I don't have a land-line phone because it costs 20$ month just to have the stupid phone with no extra bells and whistles. To me *that's* expensive!
