With all the screwy things that are going on with
public transportation these days, having access to a cell
phone is almost mandatory while traveling.

It replaces the "Calling Card" of bygone days.

Having a "Burn Phone" packed in your carry on brief case
for those "Travel Revision" moments" makes a lot of sense.

Kind of like a life preserver on a boat.

Starting to rethink your thoughts?
I understand his thoughts. It's a little like camping, where you wish to
"take a break" from
industrialization--not tote it around with you. I think expecting
people to live in harmony with
changing technology is a bit of an unreasonable request. I haven't toted
a cell phone anywhere yet (I'm
sure there may come a day when **I** am ready--the phone can wait, not
the other way around!).
