I have been told numerous times from numerous people that I am not among the best of cell phone users when it comes to actually using said phone. I tend to not have much attention to the battery in the phone, and if it by chance runs down and my phone dies, well it’ll be okay to be dead for a week or so, no sweating it on my part. I also often neglect to call people when I tell them that I will and neglect to call people back when they call me. I suppose this makes me a pretty irresponsible/unfriendly person, but I just don’t enjoy talking on the phone at all.
I find that when I am talking on the phone, I tend to run out of things to say very quickly as opposed to if I am IMing or emailing or the like. Also, if I can talk to many more people in private conversations on the computer than on the phone, why shouldn’t I do so?
But some people just don’t seem to understand this. They ask me, “Why is your phone never on?”, “Why didn’t you call me back?”, and things like that. They tell me they have important things to say to me, but if they know I don’t often use my phone, why do they continue to try to contact me in that manner? Just send me an email, message me on Facebook, something other than calling me, because chances are, I’m not going to ever get your memo.

yea, i know most of this is pointed at me. but i like the fone for several reasons.
ReplyDelete1)you dont always have an internet connection but there is almost always cell reception.
2)hearing someone's voice is always more personable than reading their words.
3)there is no tone in text. you can't tell if someone is irritated, happy, or just kidding and it can cause several arguments because it was misinterpreted.
4)say someone has a project to do with you, and they can't get to a computer to send you a message, but they have a fone and you have a fone so they'll call you to set up a time. then your fone is dead and the project is ruined....
5)if you say you'll do something, do it. that's your word and it has nothing to do with the fact of having a fone.
