Cell Phone
: An Instrument used to talk to person at distance wirelessly;
Telepathy was used years ago to communicate and was the ability to send and receive thoughts from one mind to another and it is considered a natural ability of the human mind. Late, in 80′s monopolised BSNL black or red round dial pulse phone was seen in India. During that time if you need a landline connection of a phone, you have to wait almost 3 year to get the phone after applying for new phone connection. It was a symbol of status 
during that time to have a phone and people also astonished looking new technology in phone like speaker phone and cordless phone. In mid 90′s cell phone companies entered in the Indian market and Cell phone was real expenses during that time, you have to pay for both incoming and outgoing calls and person calling on cell phone has to pay Long distance charges. Have you remembered first cell phone?, bulky, heavy covered 
in black cover (pocket) to keep it safe from breakage. The big and bulky cell phone had a phone book and the ability to make and receive calls, and that was where the technology ended. The phone was used for the emergency purpose only.
Recently, I have become aware of serious trouble, that has no boundaries. The real issue is not with the cell phone, but the people’s reactions to it. This days, cell phone come with the all the facilities that your laptop can h
ave and feel like handicap without cell phone. A colourful screen, photo camera, movie camera, internet access, MP3 player, e-book reader, calendar, organiser and many more just to name a few. Having a wide variety of functions is not actually the inherent problem with today’s cell phones. The problem is the power that people have given to their phones. And there are two kinds of power: communication and organization.
Have you ever noticed that cell phones take top priority in our lives? How many times cell phone has interfere that you have answered a call or a 
text while in the middle of a conversation with a real life person? And even if you took the higher road by not answering or responding, you definitely know who called or texted you because you checked the caller ID. Or maybe you panicked because, the biggest mistake, you left your phone at home. Do you stress out all day and worry that people won‘t be able to get a hold of you? I always rush home and immediately check my phone for all the calls and messages I must have missed.
On the contrary, how can you get rid of somebody, you really don’t want to see?, the missed call, caller ID, won’t let you go nowhere. With the cell phone ON, you are available for everyone to connect and if you turn off the phone, it would be questionable, how somebody can do without cell phone? You hardly have to remember any telephone numbers since the numbers are directly saved to cell phone and without it, it is almost impossible to call anybody. I have remembered only those numbers that were memorised pre-cell phone time and actually had to dial numbers to connect my family and friends. I don’t even bother memorizing people‘s phone numbers any more and actually I never see most people‘s numbers because I can just exchange info via blue-tooth.
With all of the cool and convenient functions on cell phones, people are becoming more and more dependent on their phones. I know that in my own life, my cell phone has become a non replaceable commodity. I seriously believe that I could not function properly without it. Alarm to wake up in the morning, all schedules are organised and synchronised in computer with cell phone.
My all hopeless thought to detach myself with cell phone is my next goal. I will no longer sacrifice real life interactions with people for the sake of my ringing phone. I am going to start memorizing numbers and writing appointments in a planner. And last but not least I will spare away my phone when I will be sleeping and go on vacation.
