Cell phone

Cell phone is an important and useful communication tool, which allows people and organizations to be reliable all the times as it is mobile i.e. you can carry it wherever you go. You can purchase from your cell phone, you can make transactions from your cell phone, you can navigate from your cell phone, etc.

However, its use is a whole issue as people do things behind cell phones. People sometimes misuse the cell phones with its recent technology such as Blackberry, a person can seat at home and work from there but for him it’s to be reliable as to reply to emails... actually when he works alone in the office and the boss lives in another region/province.

Some people have developed lies through cell phones. You can call a person, for instance your partner, he/she might be somewhere else, but she can lie to you that she is at home as there is no way to prove the opposite. I remember once I took a bus and a lady who sat next to me received a phone call and obviously from her partner, we were in another destination while she told her partner another one. Everybody in the bus laughed and realised that she was lying.

Other people however can make excuses over cell phones instead of face-to face confrontation; I remember once back home, my friend came to see me claiming will never speak to his uncle for the rest of his life. His uncle used to like to be contacted on the cell number and not the land lines because with land lines; you would notice whether he was where he meant to be. He once promised my friend tuition fees and when my friend attempted to call him, he wouldn’t pick up and my friend told me he decided to hide the number “private call”, he then called his uncle who picked up and when heard his nephew’s voice, he then spoke like it was a voice message: “The cell number you’re trying to call is whether unavailable or switched off”.

Wow, how can people be so clever and cruel? Why give your number to people then when they call, you don’t answer? To be continued...
