In high school, I had no other means of technology related communication besides my house phone. My parents did not think that it was necessary for me to have a cell phone and I really did not care for one anyways. I did not have a real need for it, all I basically did was go from home to school and back and if I did have a need for it there was always somebody else with a cell phone. But my friends thought that it was weird that I didn’t have a cell phone. I recall a picture that my friends and I took at a football game; the pose was pretend to be talking on your cell phone and there I was smiling happily using my hand as a cell phone.
Nowadays, my phone is always on me. Yesterday in particular, though, I was rushing out the door, and I forgot my phone at home. I always somehow manage to remember to get my phone off my bed, but today I picked it up from my cozy bed and placed it on my keyboard… mistake. It didn’t take me long to realize that I had left my phone behind. I don’t even use it that much but I could tell how much I am attached to it. Throughout the entire day I had no idea what time it was, clocks now seem to be nonexistant. Finally, I arrived at home, 9 messages awaited me.
I use my cell phone as an alarm clock. I set it every night according to my schedule for the next day. I have set it to ring the most annoying sound that it could possibly make to wake me in the morning. I think I may be traumatized with that alarm clock sound. I hate it so much that it forces me to wake up and turn the racket off. But if I were to have it any other way I would probably just snooze right through it.

Ha ha, loved your short stories. It's amazing how dependent we are on technology these days, particularly our cell phones. Just as you depend on your phone as a clock and an alarm clock, I do the same. It's my lifeline to the rest of the world. Without it, I feel completely lost and out of touch with whatever's happening in the world. Just as you had a weird feeling all day when you left your cell phone on your keyboard, I have had that same feeling. Sad it is to say, but if feels like a part of me is missing when I forget my cell phone. Anyway, nice job on the blog entry! Can't wait to read more!
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, not having my cell phone could make me feel nude all day. I felt close to your blog so I took pleasure in that. When you were holding up your finger cell phone I could instantly imagine that in my head, so great description. I have to admit that if I were one of your friends I would have thought you were weird for not having use for a phone. I too depend on my cell phone to wake me up and I hate, I mean hate the rings so I try to buy ring tones that soothe and wake me. It never works, I mean never, now I just use vibrate and the snooze button. I hit the snooze button so much that it won’t allow me to anymore. It really sucks, but I digress, wonderful blog really enjoyed it.
