Faux Fraternity ( The first flower to piss on)

I've often wondered what the draw was to certain technology that seemed to me anyway, more of a hassle than a benefit and one of those bits of circuitry is the cell phone WHAT THE F__K !!!? can it be anymore of a pain in the ass when you are actually having a face to face conversation with someone ( a rarity in the 21st century) and then you hear that really shitty song coming out the side of ass of the person you are talking to and they proceed to pick it up and totally interrupt the convo you were having almost instantly!!. Now i too have a cell phone, do i use it ? not enough to even justify having a second phone bill nor is it even turned on most of the time. i originally got the phone because i had an unreliable car and it broke down on me in the middle of nowhere but thats another story. I'm not naive to the fact to think im the only one out there that feels this way but i had to say this so i don't sound too rightous :) . I think most people have the cell phone becasue its the cheapest form of modern technology that one can afford and through my own experience working with thousands of indiviuals over the last fifteen years it seemed to be a way for them to feel as if they are keeping up with all techno crap that has flooded our television screeens every 12 minutes between reality shows, "Stay in touch with everyone you love through Sprint, every second, every minute and every day". Most of those people have never moved out of their moms house but they can afford $300 phone bill ?!! . It a Faux Fraternity they don't even realize they are in and it really gets me thinking as to why i even need a cell phone, how did i ever manage before?, how did our parents ever manage before?. I remember when you shopped for someone and you knew what to get them with out having to make that call because u knew them by having face to face conversations with eachother. Maybe we should listen to our wives and loved ones when they talk to us maybe we need to be more responsible and take the grocery list that they made for you the night before. I guess after all this BLA BLA BLA-ing technology has made us less responsible for ourselves and it keeps dumbing us down year after year after year, it dose'nt make us more in touch with the world going around us it actually keeps us more out of touch because we can just push a number on our speed dial and talk to someone while we are taking a dump.
