I survived without the phone around 10 days , after I had lost my mobile somewhere . Surprisingly , I barely noticed the difference . I didn't have any sudden urge to ring . But obviously I had to come back to the Matrix . I just bought the new on , with android's system . Never had one before , but eventually I decided to follow the spirit of our time . Despite having known the saying - "We live in the times of smart phones and stupid people" . What may means that using technologically advanced gadgets make you more and more stupid .
In some way I am getting stupid with that phone sometimes . Till now I have used used a simple models , nothing complicated . I am slowly getting to know the new one , though . Today just when standing in a bus stop queue , I took out my new mobile phone to explore its functions , trying to set up an email account .Without success , I looked over my shoulder , behind me the queue of people awaiting the bus had grown enormously . Well , people were doing the same ; operating their mobile phones while waiting .
In general I can't understand people's urge for using cell phones whenever possible . No doubt this tiny device might provide a lot of fun and much of practical information ,too . But as a traditionalist I prefer traditional things then . When travelling or sitting in the waiting room , I d' rather read a newspaper or the book taken with me . Or simply observe what happens around me ; especially on the bus I enjoy watching other people and some small events like an owner of a dog arguing with another passenger .
Hopefully I won't get hooked on use of mobile phone in the future , there are enough things I am addicted to .
