Have we grown so attached to our cell phones that without them, it would seem that we just arent complete? I mean how many times have you left home without your cell phone? I know that myself personally, I never leave home without my phone, even though most days I have very little need for it. So why is it that we just cant seem to be without these little contraptions?
A Different View
As a young person, I grew up with a cell phone in my pocket. My mother however is the exact opposite. She grew up using pay phones on the side of the street. She like many people her age dont conform to todays society where cell phones have become as much apart of you as an arm or a leg!

My brother and I decided to buy her a new cell phone for Christmas and guess what we got in return? Tears!! Thats right my mother was so angry at the present we gave her, that it drove her to tears. She said and I quote, I dont want it, I dont need it, get rid of it! I couldnt understand at first why she wouldnt want to be in the possession of a new cell phone, a phone that was a lot better than mine at the time.

So I decided to find out why it was that she became so angry after being given a cell phone and this was her answer - Because now I have to learn how to use it! Sounds crazy right to you and me, us youngsters? However I thought about it and in the end it made quite perfect sense.
Techno-Fool
Theres a word for my mother, a techno-fool and it basically people who seem to have fallen behind with the latest technology. It would seem that a lot of older people(I dont mean that old, more middle-aged!) have started to find it so difficult to use a lot of todays technology, that it actually pains them to even try it!
Thats what my mother was going through. She was so scared learning how to use her new cell phone that it actually drew her to tears! I found out later that it was more the fact that she was scared she wouldnt know what to do if someone important called, what if she pressed the wrong button!
I thought about the whole term techno-fool again and wondered if I was ever going to be given this label in the future and although my initial response was no way! I later realized that it was in fact inevitable. I mean what is the cell phone going to look like in 10, 20 or 50 years time. It really does scare me, maybe not to tears, but it does scare me!
