Mobile Phone Phobia
You ever had the phone ring exactly when you hope it wont? What's with mobile phones and ringing at inappropriate moments?Do they use some kind of software that holds the call till it is the perfect wrong moment to ring? I mean, who came up with this stupid idea of a mobile phone? Wasn't mankind miserable enough already without getting to hear instant bad news? "The stock market is down 400 points", "Honey the dog ate your favorite pair of sneakers", "You are fired", who the hell wants to hear this news when they are spending a happy moment with their mistress or out fishing with their buddies? Cant it wait till you get back? Now they use the mobile phones to watch TV. So who wants to watch TV on a 2 inch screen?. If I did want to watch TV I would take a beer, half a ton of potato chips and sit in front of the idiot box in my favorite couch instead of peering at my Nokia wondering if its a movie or a ball game.
Belling the cat:Alexander 'the bell' Graham reportedly dropped some battery acid on himself while he was inventing the phone. The first words on a telephone were probably " Fucking hell", due to marketing reasons it was changed to "Mr.Watson, come here I need you". See, the first words spoken on a phone was bad news and they continue in the same vein till date.
Mobile phones are getting smaller by the day, in the near to middle future they probably will implant a mobile chip on your brain and you you'll be able to make calls just by thinking (George Bush will be making blank calls I guess).
The industry pundits say that very soon you wont need credit cards, visiting cards, ID documents or any thing that you normally carry around with you. Your mobile phone will double up as all that and more.Does that mean, if you lose your mobile, you cease to exist? "I lost my mobile, I ll just lie down and die"?
Why is it a human nessicity to keep talking all the time? People with mobiles need to talk like its mandatory for others to breathe, they talk on the bus, on the train, while in a restaurant, in the loo, at the amusement park. At any public place you find two out of five people on the phone. What did they all do before the mobile was invented? What will they do if all the mobiles on the planet were to disappear tomorrow?
People look like total idiots when they are talking on their hands free kit. It seems like they are talking to the wall, or to a plant, or even to a buffalo. A person who comes from a place that has never seen a mobile phone will probably consider us all loony. And he wont be off the mark by much.
Small is big: My cell phone is smaller than yours, is how you cock your snook at the neighbour. The way a man boasts has undergone a drastic change. His idea of manhood used to be the ability to say "Mine is bigger than yours" ,now it is, "Mine is smaller than yours". Sigh, are we crazy or what.

you're right, we are going rather overboard with the cell phone thing...and it's not just the incessant talking at the top of their voice which is annoying...i have actually have seen people sitting beside each other and SMSing, when they can bloody well talk...we might actually lose the art of refined conversation...(phone conversations don't count..lol)
they should have these people sent to therapy..i'm pretty sure they have excessive dependency syndrome or some such thing.. (ok just made that up..but hey its appropriate..) on their cellphones or something...
anyway, i liked u're rather cynical sense of humour...it was meant to be humourous right???
without a doubt!
