Oh No! You’d have to speak!

A world without cell phones, oh what would we do. Well once upon a time humans actually had to talk to each other, they actually had to have conversations. I wish I received more phone calls and just chit chatted rather than texting back and forth. The reason for this is there isn’t any emotion in texting you can’t really get the feeling/point across while typing extremely fast with your fingers, adding an emoticon doesn’t count either. My nana always tells me about when she and her friends would actually call and have conversations and I think our time is lacking that, I mean my nana doesn’t have a cell phone and still talks for hours and hours on the phone with her friends. I remember when I didn’t have a cell phone in middle school and I would instant message to my friends who did have cell phones. Even before that me and my friend Emily would call each other and talk on the phone forever about the stupidest things, but at least it was an actually conversation. I do understand the good part about having a cell phone, for emergency and if you get lost, but I don’t think it was a needed. I am thankful for my cell phone because it helps me find my way in large cities and look up stuff, or if I was to get “kidnapped”. I enjoy talking to people, in fact I can talk to almost anyone and not be afraid, and I enjoy talking rather than texting any day.

  1. I kind of agree and disagree with a world without cell phone. The texting part of the cell phone seems to be the only bad factor here because our generation is lacking the communication people use to have with each other. I would have expected something else when you started the sentence off with “A world without cell phones,” Like maybe how time consuming a person spends on their cell phone in a day or something to that effect. Although at the end I could see why you didn’t entirely disliked cell phones because of how much it helped you. I like the idea that you chose something that everyone used though so great job Hailey!
