I'm against cell phones.

I just can't bear them.

I call them "Gameboys". I mean, these things are so over bloated, you can play games you must pay to download, writes stupid and unreadable messages in an unreadable telegraphic-style language, one character at a time, which you must pay to send, enjoy the wonders of the internet on a high-resolution (49x53) dot matrix thingy they call "screen" and you happily pay big bucks for that, listen to the radio (costs $$$ per minute), take bad quality photos and upload them to your friends ($$$ per picture), see the weather broadcast ($$$ per session), and EVENTUALLY (but it's become the LEAST of the functions of a cell phone)............ call people.

Not counting that these stupid buzzers enable anyone who has access to the phone network data to locate you at 10 meters nearby at any instant, track your moves over one month, learn your habits of living and purchasing, establish your contact list, find out more things about you than what even your poor momma knows.

That said,

I'm against cell phones.
