Chapter 34 ★32 give up your mobile phone

You already know I don't like phone ringtones, so please forgive me for grumbling in this post. I know many people who installed a mobile phone when the price of the mobile phone was reduced.Some people, like real estate agents I know, say that if they didn't have a cell phone, they couldn't do business at all.Perhaps, they have a legitimate need to be constantly on the phone.But most people, including some real estate agents, say cell phones are another thing that's more of a hassle than a convenience. First, there are security factors that are never mentioned by cell phone manufacturers, dealers, and the media.As far as I know, at least one person has given up his mobile phone because he almost had an accident when the car was traveling at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour while using high-load power to talk.In the worst case, you are like a clown, busy dialing a phone number with one hand, and shuttling through the crowded traffic with the other.

Second, due to the imperfection of technology, when we use the car phone, the voice suddenly becomes louder and then quieter. Otherwise, when we leave the call signal area, the call will be cut off in the middle of the conversation.Is this a convenience thing? Third, safety aside, but isn't it crazy to have us doing two things over and over again in the car?Do we have to be so busy? Fourth, mobile phones are simply too expensive.As my father used to say, if you make more money than your head, it doesn't do you any harm if you spend it generously.However, if you're on a tight budget, you'd better think hard about whether owning a mobile phone will actually save you money.
