This has many implications, but the most common one, and perhaps the thing that has changed British culture for ever, is that of approximeeting. People no longer need to make firm plans about when and where to meet.
Oh God HE'S RRIGHT. Let's all burrn ourr mobiles.

you pretty much decide how it's used. so you create the negative or possitive aspects.
it's not technology that is bad, but the way people might use it might reflect negativity to their lives.
like drugs.

mobile phones are a bit like the internet, in that you don't miss it if you've never had it, but it creates its own dependency.
I've never had a mobile phone and unless I become a doctor or something like that, I will never get one.

mobile phones are stupid. because if i wanna go to the pub with a mate i'll give em a call at home or message them on msn. but then you get like a million texts, "are you ready?" "i'm leaving now" "where are you man" "are you in the pub yet" "i'm just walking up to the door now" "i'm at the bar, yeah i can see you"
i am just as guilty of this kind of behaviour, but its just so stupid and pointless.
be at the pub for 8. thats all you need to know. then there are people who ring you just for a 'chat' when you only spoke eariler that day. i love talking to people on the phone, but only if i havent seen them in a while, or at least not the same day . bah

My Portable Telephone Device is somewhere between a bloody nuisance and kind of useful. It'd be an absolute motherfucker trying to keep in touch with people i don't see all that often without it.
I never answer phone calls if i don't recognise the number, though. It could be a crazy insane-o killer.

From the article:
"In Korea, cameraphones must, by law, make a loud shutter noise whenever a picture is taken to alert others of any nefarious snapping. Men had been caught standing behind short-skirted girls, and casually snapping away with their phone held by their side. Such "up-skirt" shots have caused laws to be passed in many countries to ban that activity, and to restrict the use of cameraphones in changing rooms and other such places. "

Cell phones can be really annoying to me. I do have one, but use it very rarely.
BUT: Those fuckers are the new tool of revolution! Put down your rock/molitov cocktail.. pick up the celly. Text messaging was used to coordinate HUGE groups of demostrators at the last Republican National Convention.. it's just something that couldn't have been done before.
Cells are OK if you turn 'em around and make them work for you.

I will NOT throw away my fucking mobile. I like the level of communication. If I don't want to be contacted I can turn off my phone or not answer. Simple solution. I like it when my phone rings. I have Skelechairs as a ringtone :D

its called progress. eventually cell phones will improve and stop causing cancer and shit, but they are really amazing when you think about it. However theres the fucking morons who think its funny to answer their cell phone in a movie theater. God I hate those niggers. I hope they get cancer from their cell phone just for being so goddamn annoying.

It's not the rrule of mobile phones that you have to turrn

maybe not, but sadly this has happened to a lot of relatively normal people. there's something about the mobile that destroys even the most likeable human being into a mid-conversation phone-answering bastard.

i really hope you're right.
its worrying me, all the shit in the ether these days. especially with those new broadband UMTS transmitters being set up, all the data flying about cant be good for you.
and on top of that, my country has one of the highest allowed radiation levels of the world. the people making plans just act as if theres nothing wrong, when for example reports come in about fertilized chicken eggs not developing if you place them under a gsm antenna. rantrantrant
