My Cell Phone, My Life Line

I have a cell phone.  You have a cell phone.  Most likely, everyone you know has a cell phone. 


Your cell phone goes EVERYWHERE with you.  School, work, car, and I bet you even sleep with your cell phone.  But who doesn't?  A cell phone is no longer being used for people to make call uninhibited by a cord (or are we???).  A cell phone is used as a GPS, calender, alarm clock, and even a way to keep in touch with our social networks, just to name a few.  


Here are some other most used features of our cell phones:

Did you know...

• 87 % of people only know a few phone numbers by heart - admitting they would not know how to contact loved ones if they lost their cell phones
• 53% of people often bring their cell phones to the bathroom
• 30% of people feel anxious if their cell phone is not within arm's reach
• 28% of people claim they spend more time texting or just looking at messages than they spend looking at loved ones
• Nearly one-in-five 25- to 34-year-olds (17%) would rather lose their car keys than their cell phones

I would like to use this blog to discuss the many ways  we use our cell phones daily and examine how we have become dependent on our hand held technology pieces.
