A phoneless existence in the US

Well first of all….I am expecting a warm welcome since Ive come out of my non blogging coma after 6 months…im sure people would be ready with chappals to give me gpl’s…thank god for this being online

so i lost my phone…whats the big deal in that…..well im in the US and losing a phone is like losing your identity…..i guess that would be true even in India right now…I mean its hard to imagine that 5 years ago we didnt have cell phones, computers , internet…how can anything change so dramatically over 5 years? and is it a change for the good or bad……i dont know….and its hard to think about coz we are so absorbed in these things……think about it…if someone took your laptop/computer , mobile phone, ipod for one day..what would you do? have they become as integral to your life as breathing that living without them would be impossible…i tried doing that without my phone for a week(not voluntarily, i lost it and getting a new one cost a lot of money …

well since noone calls me i guess i was fine…..but imagine having no laptop or phone in this age…..we would have no idea wht to do with our lives…we would actually have to go out and live…shudders…and thats a truth..we have become slaves to this IT age….. I had gone to visit my aunt and she was telling me how she had no tv , computer, internet or cellphone when she was young………and you know what my guess is…which is most probably true…she mustve had a blast!!
