I have had one since 1995 and find it hard to imagine life without one. In fact, my cellphone number is the only number I ever give out to people. The realities of today's business world is that you are expected to be reachable when you are not in the office. Like it or not, that is the way it is. It is true that it is annoying when you come across stupid people who forget to turn them off in theaters etc., but there is a technological solution to that, which some cinemas have implemented, namely to block the signal inside the auditorium. And let us also not forget the bigger global picture: in many poor countries, the cellphone has made it possible for even outlying villages to be connected to the outside world, something that would never have happened if the telephone company had to lay cable to connect such places.
