In this day and age land lines are becoming obsolete. No one wants to pay for both a cell phone and a land line. Many people are simply using their cell phones for their calling needs. There has been a sharp increase in the number of active cell numbers in Nebraska and experts believe that number will continue to rise.
My sister and brother-in-law only use their cell phones. This seems to be working for them pretty well although it is a little inconvenient to wait for the phone’s battery to charge every few days. If my mom knew how to use a cell phone my house wouldn’t have a land line either.
Parents are buying a cell phone for their kids at younger and younger ages. Is it a good idea for so many kids to have cell phones? I personally say no. I don’t think kids need cell phones until they begin going out alone where there wouldn’t be a phone they could use. I went to New York once and saw kids around the age of twelve with cell phones. They shouldn’t be out on their own at twelve so what do they need a cell phone for? I didn’t have one until I turned sixteen.
Once cell phones were a luxury, only for movie stars and business men. Now cell phones are in the hands of grandmothers, children, and soccer moms. They are on every street corner, in every house, and in the pockets of every student. They are everywhere and the number is steadily growing. Instead of talking in person people communicate through text messages and phone calls.
