Every time I go out of the house it amazes me to see so many people staring at their cell phones. Am I the only one left who barely uses the dang things?

My family and friends were initially shocked to find that I leave it at home sometimes. The phone is there for *my* convenience, not theirs.

The older folks in my family get it. They lived before mobile communications were so ubiquitous, so it’s not a foreign concept to them. But the younger family members are amazed.. kinda like when I tell them about pay phones, collect calls, etc.

My mother had an episode of Seinfeld on, and the kids were laughing at the idea of an answering machine..

On this, I suspect you’re a rarity.

Am I the only one left who doesn't have a cell phone?
