A Cell phone? Never for me.

Some day soon, I may be the last man in America without a cell phone. To
those who see cell phones as progress, I say: they aggravate noise pollution and
threaten our solitude. The central idea of cell phones is that you should be
connected to almost everyone and everything at all times. The trouble is that cell
phones assault your peace of mind no matter what you do.
I’m a dropout and aim to stay that way. I admit this will be increasingly
difficult, because cell phones are now passing a historic milestone. As with other
triumphs of the mass market, they’ve reached a point when people forget what it
was like before they existed. No one remembers life before cars, TVs, air
conditioners, jets, credit cards and microwave ovens. So, too, now with cell
phones. Anyone without one will soon be classified as a crank or member of the
deep underclass.
Look at the numbers. In 1985 there were 340,213 cell phone users. By year-end
2003 there were 159 million. [...] Among those 60 to 69, cell phone ownership (60
percent) is almost as high as among 18 to 24-year-olds (66 percent), though lower
than among 30 to 49-year-olds (76 percent), according to a recent survey from the
Pew Research Centre. Even among those 80 and older, ownership is 32 percent.
Of course, cell phones have productive uses. For those constantly on the road
(salesmen, real-estate agents, repair technicians, some managers and reporters),
they’re a godsend. The same is true for critical workers (doctors, oil-rig fire-
fighters) needed at a moment’s notice. Otherwise, benefits seem murky.
They make driving more dangerous. The Harvard Centre for Risk Analysis
blamed cell phones for 6 percent of auto accidents each year, involving 2,600
deaths (but admitted that estimates are difficult).
Then, there’s sales sheer nuisance. Private conversations have gone public.
We've all been subjected to someone else’s sales meeting, dinner reservation,
family feud and dating problem. In 2003 cell phone conversations totalled 830
billion minutes. Surely many could be postponed or forgotten.
It’s true that lots of people like to gab. Cell phones keep them company. Count
that as a plus. But it’s also true that lots of people dislike being bothered. These are
folks who have cell phones but often wish they didn’t. A recent poll asked which
invention people hated most but couldn’t live without. Cell phones won, chosen by
30 percent of respondents.
Some benefits may be overstated. Cell phones for teens were sold as a way for
parents to keep tabs on children. That works — up to a point. The point is when
your kids switch off the phones. Two of my teens have cell phones (that was
Mom’s idea; she has one too). Whenever I want them most, their phones are off.
Humm. Similar advantages are claimed for older people.
Cell phones — and, indeed, all wireless devices — pretend to increase your
freedom while actually stealing it.

Robert J. Samuelson, Newsweek, August 23, 2004.
