cell phones do have a very few good uses, but most uses are just exercises in self involvement, and create an umbrella of invisibility to the world around us.

Are self-involvement and invisibility really that bad? I mean, have you seen the rest of humanity lately? Sheesh.

Most inventions can be abused to the limits of an individual's creativity or lack of.
It is an communication enhancement for truck drivers, postmen, cab drivers, and many other service workers that do not have the luxury of sitting next to a land line all day.
It also offers degree of safety and convenience for the everyday person. I certainly prefer to call AAA from my car than to walk down a busy expressway looking for a phone (rain or shine).
It definitely is a useful devise, but if one chooses to use it trivially it is simply abuse of a very useful device.

If any electronic device would cause the downfall of humanity it would be the television. The TV does not require interaction with other humans where as cell phone use usually does.

How did you come up with this one? If anything......being able to reach out and talk with someone in the case of an emergency anywhere a person is, sounds like a pretty good invention to me! Just take heed on where you're not suppose to be standing and talking on one. Such as the Gas Stations!

I carried one for ten years and got rid of it about five years ago, I hate telephones because they annoy me.
I haven't talked on a phone in six months, hopefully I'll make to a year without needing to.

I agree with you 100% We are beginning to rely on technology way to much. Not to mention they also cause brain tumours.
