“3 - Cell phones have destroyed human person-to-person communication”

Redundant, no more than the “land line” did? I don’t think so.”

You’re overboard there, there is just no comparison between the old land line phone system and cell phones. You can’t carry the old phone with you, you can’t text on it, take pictures with it etc. You can’t refuse to speak on it as some do with cell phones, that would negate its only purpose.

You can send a picture and text by Fax. There are cordless phones. Caller ID will let you refuse a call and even block
them. The fact is you can call someone and talk to them and
you say that is “no comparison”?
And you think I’m overboard? Get real, it’s just a stupid article.

I do agree with you that number five is utterly stupid. Adding features to cell phones does not in any way prevent anyone from buying something that has ONLY that feature such as a camera.

I should have used past tense in that last paragraph of my first reply to you about the land line phone, using present tense makes it sound as if I am referring to what is currently called a land line phone which quite often is not and even if it is a real land line is nothing like the old phone system.
