Day 16: Cell Phones

Hi again,
I suppose day 15 and 16 sort of go together in the sense that both are a form of technology. I have to admit that I had a rough day today and it was pretty tough to come up with something. But I knew these days would come and these are the days I need to do this even more. I am really thankful for cell phones and so often I wonder how on earth my family and I got by without them. lol I had pretty much graduated before we had our first cell phone and even internet in our home. lol That isn't even that long ago I suppose-around 10yrs give or take. No I am not completely sharing my age! lol I never leave home without my cell phone and I usually even have it with me while I am at home. It isn't even just a phone any longer-you can have internet and music and video and a camera and so on so naturally I keep it with me. But for the phone it is so nice because if I am driving and get stuck or something-I can call someone. If I am running late-I can call. If I am lost and need directions-I can call. Heck even if I fall and can't get up I can call. lol Then there is the ability to check email and facebook and twitter wherever I am when ever I want. There is a danger in that though because I feel I get too into that and I am not really present with people physically around me. But it can be handy if used correctly. I love that when the power goes out that I still have access to a phone and I am still connected to internet which is helpful to know what is going on sometimes. So that is why I am thankful for cell phones. :)
