Nope.

I have a teenage cousin that will sit in the corner alone tapping on the thing from the beginning to the end of family gatherings. I feel really bad for her, one day she'll look up from her phone and the entire world will have passed by

I also think it's hilarious when people trip or walk into things while texting
I'd never want to be that guy.

I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness,
starving hysterical naked, dragging themselves through the streets,
angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection
to the starry dynamo in the machinery of night.

It's useful and convenient, but more often than not I find myself hating the thing. I would really like to turn it off, but then a number of people would be like 'OMG WHER R U'

However, I would have two problems with getting rid of it:

1. I'd have to buy an actual alarm clock
2. I'd have NOTHING to do while crapping at work.

Opinion = fact. Anecdote = proof. Political label more important than either of those.

Eh. Not really.

I mean, I use it all day everyday for the most part. But I am also perfectly fine leaving it at home for a day, I won't even think twice about it.

I also was cellphone-less for the entire summer.

PEACE...
it means to be in the midst
of noise, trouble and strife
and still be calm

Same for me. Phone spends most of the time sitting in my car.

no, I own a flip phone from 2004. You know what scares me most about iphones? Seeing the driver of an 18 wheeler texting while driving...............
