Could you go back to simply having a home phone and ditching your cell phone altogether? How would your life be different?

I don't use my cell phone much. It's convenient sometimes but not really necessary.

I'd have a lot less to worry about.

I really don't care for a cell phone. I don't like ppl. calling me and expecting my attention at any hour of the day.

Already have. The end result has been a ton of Peace And Quiet. Im loving it.

I'd just need a really long phone cord.

I am actually considering that. Of course it would cost me termination of my contract fees and that's no good. So I am undecided.

As for how it would change my life. Well, things would be both simpler and more difficult. Simpler as in it would be like it was before cell phones, only able to reach me when I am at home. More difficult for the same reason. With children, I like that I can be reached at any time.

I could do it, I don't work, I don't my current cell phone enough to miss it. I would miss the iHeartRadio app, but I could use my marconi device more.

I don't have a cell phone - matter of fact, I still use a rotary dial phone. The reason being phones aren't any better now a days - the sound is bad and they drop. Satellite is a dismal failure to me. I tossed my Television too when it went digital. It used to be the picture might be snowy, but you could make it out and you had volume. Now you get this obnoxious struttering and digital break up. It's painful to watch.

Cell phones are glorified toys. I don't want anyone calling me in my daily life. I can come in the house and see who called and decide if I want to call the person.

Technology doesn't make life easier - just more frustrating. Until technology is like it is on Star Trek - I can live without most of it.

This is next to impossible Dear ! Will miss all my friends ! On this site as well all my social sight's dear...............

I don't use my cell phone very much, It would be nice to see more people go out with out them,

I sometimes leave my cell phone at home anyway. The only reason I even got one is so the school could get ahold of me if the kids got sick and I was out of the house.

Lived that way for decades because these were once EVERYWHERE!

Like it was when things were so much simpler. I would go back to the 50s in a heart beat, people were more trusting, caring and willing ro help. We all survived without cell phones. There were plenty of pay phones everywhere,

I wasn't alive then but I'm old enough to remember when people still talked with one another. It seemed like that time was the pinnacle of human interaction. Now, people are anxiety ridden and they can't put down their cell phone for 5 minutes. And then they say the people from the 1950s were screwed up and look down upon those people who lived then. Pathetic sheep.

cell phones like most things have their good points, but that doesn't mean other times didn't have their good ideals and points. I enjoyed the 50s they were my childhood.

I have a cell phone. it's for calling my cable company when my home phone is dead. I keep telling myself to take it with me when I go out in case I need it - - - and I keep forgetting.

many people with disabilities and seniors will have no way to communicate and feel safe outside there home .... thank god for cell phone

at one time there were pay phones on every corner and in between, Some of the seniors and disable don't know hoe to use the cell phones. But they knew how to get an operator with a real live person to help them.

yes that is true somewhat . but if you were to ask a nonverbal or deaf how awfull where those pay phone for them they will tell you .....very awful

of course that is true, but at least the blind could use them.

Even the blind community will prefer the cell phone than pay phone

okay whatever, the pay phone was very important in its day, whether you agree or believe it, But one thing is for sure you will never have that caring person on the other in of the line in a matter of moments like you did back in those days.

i can agree with that.

Welcome to my world. My phone has a dial.. I've never HAD a cellphone!!

I like being able to call/text people no matter where I am at.

That's electronic clingyness. If you were in a room and had this issue where you had to physically close to people 24/7 I'd be worried.

I could very easily.

I don't use a cell phone.

Cool. I'm required to have one for work but to be honest, I would actually consider dropping it totally if work didn't require it. I don't want to associate with the millions of people walking around oblivious to the world around them because they are buried in their phone.

Have you noticed these people? They're clueless!

Yes, my 16 year old is one of them... I picked her up one time and she crossed the street never looking up from her cell phone. I hope I drilled it in.... because she will be getting her licence soon!

Good luck!

Did you see that story last week where a kid texted that he better stop texting otherwise he was going to be in an accident? He went off a cliff, survived but broke his neck.

If I had a daughter who I witnessed crossing the street without even looking up, she would learn a lesson really quick.
