Your inequality is correct, and I do see where a cell phone could be convenient at times. But the level of usefulness for me does not justify the cost, and the inconvenience of carrying it around.
Beyond that I think too many people view too many things as necessities these days. So many kids have cell phones, it's crazy! This society is too materialistic and too prone to feel entitled to everything.

I don't have an ipod but im sure they're cool,can you fit shitloads of your cd's on them?would save a lot of time and also wear and tear on the cd's but i worry that these kind of things(downloading ect) might one day be the final nail in bands actually putting out albums
so the cost of a cell phone wouldn't be worth it if you drove off the side of a road and no-one knew where you were and you needed to get to the hospital badly?
While I respect you for not conforming, it's eventually going to become a "need" in society. Especially since pay phones are starting to disappear, so it'll be hard to contact anyone outside of your house. I will say though that peoples' dependencies on cellphones nowadays are shocking...
I rarely use my cellphone, but it's nice to have if I do need it. Also, v2kv I didn't realize you were in Toronto. Whereabouts do you live if you don't mind me asking?
I'm at the University of Toronto St. George campus just a little south of BloorNo, not at all. I live in the North York region...you?
