If you have a cellphone its your destiny, if others don't have it, its their destiny. God creates all our destiny. We are no one to interfere in his business!!!!!!!!

Just think where would we be without the wheel, electricity, central heating, running water, flush toilets, microwave anything, Internet for Yahoo answers. Unfortunately, with progress human tendencies for cheating increase also. Personally, I think 24 hr. a day news is the reason we are inundated with things that are none of our business. Everything costs something and sometimes it is more than we are willing to pay.

NO CELL PHONE!!!!  Those are used to set of the IED's.  And a mistaken call on the wrong frequency can kill someone.  They had those satelite phones over there, but those do cost an arm and a leg.  As it it, they should be more concerned about getting through a day than calling to chat.  Standing in line a the phone center every now and then is frustraiting, but there is no need to call home every ten minutes.  Don't bother.

Heavy usage of cellphone by a highschool student can cause the following: \n(1) low proficiency in spelling (most oftn omitting the vowels from the words) since most cellphone users shorten the words to save space. \n(2) focus on studies is diverted - e.g. addiction to games installed in the cellphone unit. \n(3) diminished etiquette -  There is a sense of urgency to respond to texts/calls regardless of one's situation, be it during holy mass, meetings, family gatherings, classes, movie houses, and so on\n(4) safety risks - Cellphone users text/call while walking, driving, amd crossing the pedestrian.  \n(5) materialism - To be considered cool and popular in one's circle of friends, there is a tendency to want and demand for latest cellphone models

Cell phones and pagers, part of the technological revolution that was supposed to liberate everyone, is tethering people to their jobs to an unprecedented degree, to the point where family life is suffering.\nThe research, by University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee sociologist Noelle Chesley, appears in the December issue of the Journal of Marriage and Family.\n\n\n"The use of cell phones and pagers was linked to increased distress and a decrease in family satisfaction over time," said Chesley, an assistant professor of sociology. "There is clearly a link between using the technology and experiencing increased access."\n\n\nFor the study, Chesley interviewed working couples over two time periods -- from 1998 to 1999 and again from 2000 to 2001. She found that between the interview periods, the use of cell phones and pagers decreased family satisfaction and increased distress and negative work-to-family and family-to-work spillover.\n\n\n"These technologies are linked to negative experiences and feelings from the workplace spilling over into the home," Chesley said. "We are becoming more accessible, which is letting in more of the bad than the good."\n\n\n"Women get kind of a double whammy," she added. "For women, in addition to having a lot of this stuff from work spill over into home life, they get the opposite. There is also a lot of negative stuff from home spilling over into the workplace."\n\n\nChesley thinks that better management of cell phone use is needed to reduce the stress effect she uncovered. Perhaps employers and employees should set limits on reaching each other to allow time for more positive family interaction, she suggested.\n\n\n"The question is, are these technologies helping us or hurting us in our daily life," Chesley asked. "The results of this study indicate that technology may not be so great."\n\n\nOne expert thinks the findings support the idea that cell phones are changing culture -- and not necessarily for the better.\n\n\n"These findings seem to support my intuitions about how cell phones affect our daily lives -- blurring boundaries between work and family life because of increased accessibility," said Tate Kubose, a cognitive scientist at the University of Illinois Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology.\n\n\n"They also support the notion that we should really appreciate our women more, as they seem to shoulder a lot of the burden, even in marriages where both spouses work," he added.

Well I looked over the search engines for you. I could not find any articles. I will continue to try though and if i find any i will update my answer with them.\nBut in my opinion...YES. Just think of it...if all technology shut down for a day...Jobs would disappear. The government would flip out with no way to communicate or monitor things. Stock markets would crash. Terrorism would no doubt explode. People would just flip out. Businesses would just flop. Almost EVERYTHING WE DO EVERY DAY IS SOMEHOW CONNECTED TO TECHNOLOGY. So yes, i would definitely say that people rely way too much upon it.

There is a symbiosis between humans and the earth. It is a relationship as real and as delicate as is the relationship between our minds, hearts, and bodies. Interestingly enough, almost 500,000 people die in America alone from tobacco-related diseases, another 200,000 from prescription medications, another 100,000 from homicides, accidents, suicides, and numerous other acts of inhumanity. The real issue is our lack of self-love and the appreciation of life in general. If we cannot appreciate human life then there is little or no chance that we will ever appreciate the life of this planet we occupy. Every technology we develop will cause the increased loss of human life, and Mother Earth will continue to die from our indifference.

Its not the number of hands that makes cell phone drivers dangerous.  It is the lack of attention.  People talking on the phone pay too much attention to their conversation, and not enough on the nearby cars.

I lost my pc and all stuff a couple of years ago in a break in.\n\nIt was amazing , how slowly and surely that the PC and cell phone (called a mobile phone in the UK)\n\nTakes over your life.\n\nIts scary to think, we can live our entire life with just ordering stuff on the internet.\n\nWe never need to talk to another living soul again.\n\nBut on the other hand its interesting the way we have communities like yahoo answers to bring more ppl together.

because Americans are becoming increasingly lazy. today's young adults have things so easy. its work to do the right thing and sometimes there are no visible rewards. for as much as I love technology, I have a computer, ipod, cell phone etc.., it has caused a silver-spoon, silver-platter effect and the result is a loss of morals.\n\nDeacon-I very much like your answer you get my vote

Are you suggesting that with improving technology we are living less long?\nIf so I can think of nowhere to find evidence to say you are correct.\nGenerally, improving technology goes hand in hand with greater lifespans, although the relationship is far from causal in every case.

Sadly, the world is regressing.  The use of the internet, cell phones, DVD players in cars, etc. has caused us to become much more detached from our friends and family.  There is much less personal interaction anymore.  I don't think technology is ALL bad...of course you can meet new people online, or find out new info in an instant.  But, overall, the cons are outweighing the pros at this point.\n\nWe are soooo reliant on oil and electricity that we are going back to making enemies with MOST of the world.  More countries (Iran, N. Korea) have nuclear capabilities and are much more likely to use them than any countries in the past.  There are more extreme terrorists who can't be caught, less human intelligence to stop the terrorists, and our own coutnry's military is very diminished at this point.\n\nDespite MOSTLY overcoming years of racism and racial tension, things seem to be getting worse in that area again, with all the immigration debates/protests.  \n\nMost of the world's population live in 3rd world countries...diseases are widespread.  Despite working on the AIDS problem for 20+ years, we still do not have a cure or vaccine.  \n\nPeople don't think there's anything wrong with deteriorating morals...swearing is commonplace now, nudity on TV/movies is no big deal...violence is everywhere.  More than 50% of marriages end in divorce.  We are quickly depleting our natural resources.  the polar ice caps are melting.  Nature is becoming more extreme thanks to global warming.  Certain animals are dying out.  \n\nI have an advanced degree, have worked hard all my life, and still cannot afford to buy my own house.  In the 50s, most families owned houses and that was without the wife working!  Now I can't own my own house despite all my hard work and education.  This country...and the world are going to hell in a handbasket, and anyone who doesn't think so, hasn't lived long enough or looked around!
