There's nothing wrong with cell phones. What's wrong is living our lives through them. I do not own a cell phone, by the way, not on principle, but because I do not need one to live. So you will never see me risking other's lives while jabbering on one in my car--actually I don't own a car either. I ride a motorcycle, rain or shine. I just can't seem to get REALITY out of my system. I recommend reality for children also.
