A cell phone might be the only link to a loved one dying or needing
help right now.
The infamous long stretch of the imagination. How did we ever survive
without them? I've been a cell phone user since shortly after they hit the
market, so I'm not anti-cell phone, but this kind of reasoning is very much
like the line "if it saves just one life, it's worth all of the
inconvenience...". Both are built upon an emotional statement, and not at
all supportable.
