It is the first thing you see in the morning
It is the last thing you see at night
It stresses you out
It calms you down
It helps you remember
It helps you forget
It connects you to your friends
It's the only thing you own that is always within an arm's reach.
After I saw the commercial, I thought how true it is! If someone wanted to rob me of my phone I'd be devastated! It is my connection to my family, my friends, the internet, my music, and just about everything important that I could fit into my pocket.
What is so amazing to me is how new the cell phone craze is. Cell phones have been around for years and years, but everyone owning one has happened since 2003 or so. I have had one since I was 15 and I can't imagine how people worked out plans without them! For instance, say you plan dinner with six friends and en route someone changes their minds. Obviously you could get by, but it just makes everything so much easier!
Anyway, I have enjoyed watching cell phones evolve from a clunky thing that just makes calls to a mobile computer and I can't wait to see what is in store for the future!
Its all about money, honey. It was the advent of "unlimited" (usually a misnomer) plans and the "free" phones that made them affordable. I paid $900 for a used phone in 1988.
