Cell Phones Are Good Things To Have
The pro side is you can reach people whenever you need to. Very useful for emergencies. Can promote better social relationships. Texting (something I find fun). Etc... But the con side is, as a cynical person would say, is a ball and chain device, you can always be reached (even if you don't want to be [though there are power buttons]). Can potentially become addicting. Can cause more accidents when used while driving. Can be used to cheat on tests by kids. Etc.. Whats your view? Are they good to have, or more trouble than they are worth?

I have to agree to a certain extent. Cell Phones are great for an emergency. I live in CT where when you leave a town or a city, there are no phones. If you break down, you are at the mercy of others. The problem I see is over use. Some people are their cell phones fro the time they get up to the time they go to bed. You would think that the cell phone is a body part.

I'm for it. In these modern times, we crave convenience, easy communication, and instantaneous reactions -- 3 things easily given by cell phones. Without them, things wouldn't be as great and fast as they are now. And, hey, everything has cons. Although it's a different topic on how people abuse them -- One that comes to mind is using one while driving. But, if you look at the technological aspect of it, I'm not apt to be against cell phones.
