Good
morning everybody. I’d like to propose my
first challenge to you all. In the past
few days, two people I know have said, “I need my (cell) phone. Joey, I don’t know how you can not take yours
to bed with you.”
Why should
I? If I’m gonna be making mad, sweet
love to something, it won’t be a plastic rectangle with a glass screen.
Seriously,
though, I don’t need my phone much. Yeah, if my house phone dies, I might need to
make a call, but, you know, 15-20 years ago, when there were no cell phones, we
all did just fine. Technology is a good
thing, but let’s not get carried away.
I know
people who literally have to check their phone every two minutes: over dinner,
through a movie, at work, sitting on the toilet, during “rush hour” traffic…
Really? Why are they so addictive? It’s a new generation of mindless
slave/zombies.
So,
basically, I’m challenging you to start simple.
Pick a time after reading this, put your cell phone down, and do Not
pick it up, look at it, Anything for 15 minutes. Tell me how you feel.
GO…
Since we have a landline and a cell, I am not dependent on my cell phone! It is for emergency calls, and texting. It cannot even play solitaire! Stupid thing!
