"hell"phones
wow! its been a while since i wrote. so let me get straight to the point.i hate cellular phones. i bring this up with my friends all the time. how we've lost every last ounce of privacy from our lives. there is no running away from that piece of electronic gadgetry calling out to you by sweetly singing your favourite tune.
i have to admit that i do own and use a mobile phone. like i said. there's no escape! people spend so much more time together since the advent of this plague. however, this time spent together doesn't actually add up, thanks to frequent interruptions by our friendly buzzing blight.
i am quite the critic of people who get up frequently from cozy lunches/ dinners/ drinks to satiate the murmuring monster . in fact, i've had many a laugh seeing couples by the seaside spending quality time with other, talking on their respective phones. almost makes you think - are they talking to each other? if not, why bother trying to find a cozy nook by the sea, only to have your quiet monents invaded by your boss/mom/dad/friend?
i honestly believe that if rodin were sculpting in this era, he'd have made 'the talker' instead of 'the thinker'. i can see it very clearly. man slight hunched forward, forehead slightly wrinkled in concern, hand to his ear, and peering out of his palm - the reason for his vexation.
i don't believe it. my phone hasn't rung once since i started writing this. does it know what i'm doing? is it secretly plotting against me? like dying on me in the middle of an important client call. i'm worried. i probably won't sleep well tonight.
