My GAWD!!!

I must be dead —

I mean, how did I *ever* manage to survive my 20-umpteen years of schooling - and even more-umpteen years of living, up until this very minute - without owning a cell phone...

Being *out* of touch occasionally teaches values like self-sufficiency and independent thought....

I agree with youy whole-heartedly.
The over-arching point of my article is not to praise cell phones. It is the lament of the loss of values.

It isn’t about the technology.

Thanks much for the comments!
