    Default Anybody else cell phone dependent?

    Lost my cell phone yesterday and after freaking out about it all night, I have come to the conclusion that I am cell phone, Internet and electronic dependent.

    I need an intervention!

    Geez this is pathetic.

    Might be time to rethink my life and my dependencies. Meh, who I am kidding I freak when the site goes down.

    After retiring I realized that I no longer really needed a cell phone and haven't missed it a bit. On the other hand the internet is a daily need or at least it seems to be.

    I'm defnitely dependent on my phone. I don't call/text much but it's how I get my news, listen to podcasts, etc. Work would be unbearable without it.

    Not so much dependent on the cell phone. I use it strictly as a phone...no smart-phone.

    The internet? Different story. I'd have a hard time adapting to life without a broadband connection.

    I'm not surprised you're one of those people who still uses a phone as a phone... not a bad thing. I use my phone for everything, internet, texting, calling, email, organizer, alarm clock.... If I ever lost it I think I would probably have a really hard time for a while...

    I lost my cell phone over a year and a half ago goose hunting, and I never replaced it. I love not having a cell phone.

    I haven't had a cell phone for almost 5 years now. I am a cheap bastard, and I take my wife's cell phone if I am really going to need it. I try to memorize all numbers that are important to me just in case I have an emergency and need to get a hold of someone.

    I am going to get a phone here soon, but I think that I will wait until my wife qualifies for a renewal and we will both get new phones. I still don't want it, but it makes meeting up with people so much easier.
