@Venezia  Agree 100%!  If I were at lunch with people and they started to use their cell phones, I would leave.

Really?   I would try to save long-term friendships if I could.  As we get older, it's harder to make new friendships ... keep the ones you have!  

Send them all an email before the next lunch and say let's try communicating face to face with the phones shut off ... at least for a half hour!

I think people default to cell phone mode, and don't even realize what they're doing anymore!

I can't imagine not having one!

Do you think Waze is better than Google Maps?

My first "cell" phone was a bag phone!  Who remembers those?  Got it because of emergency trips of more than 200 miles to parents house, and sometimes it was at night and when husband was on a business trip.

It rang like your land line phone rang back in the day!  Scared the soup out of a colleague one day when we were going to a meeting and it rang in the back seat.

@Desertdi   How do you like it?  Or is that you don't miss it, because you don't have one. I was last in this family to get smart phone.

I had a car phone.  I was working as a Realtor and needed one.  Mine was in the front seat and attached to my center console.

I have only a cell phone. I dropped my landline 15 years ago and never looked back. Technology is the way of the present and the future.

It's your choice if you want a cell phone. You need to realize that many businesses etc will not always provide another option.

Before cell phones, we had pay phones.

I absolutely hate it when i go to my nail salon and the same person is next to me for over an hour on the phone with the same person for the entire time and I have to hear the entire conversation, sooo rude !!!
