(typo in that one, what, no spell check?)
i am not addicted to my cell phone. i think i have a healthy relationship with it. it is my only phone. no land line, so i try to keep it charged and in a location where i can find it. i take it with me to work and i keep it on silent in my pocket. at home its on the kitchen counter. i have tons of minutes and unlimited texting. i have no data. i don't use it to take pictures. it is a means of communication when necessary.
i feel bad for children growing up with parents whose attention is shared with the world and not just given to them.
i feel bad for the people who are impacted when people text while driving. even just looking at a text is a distraction and a deadly one at that. i get scared because i can't be sure that my own family members don't do this. i know that my husband and i don't.
i feel angry because people look down at their phones screen rather than look around them and notice what is going on right there.
the more people are connected to each other through technology, the less they really know each other or even care.
