Nokia Xpress 5800 Phone

It turns out there really is a medical condition for almost everything, even the fear of being without one’s cell phone. Before today, I always thought I was weird because I actually got actually got nervous when I realize I forgot my cell phone at home. It just feels like something is missing, almost like I forgot to put on a piece of clothing or something. Then I found out there there is even a name for this fear: nomophobia. In a way it is funny that we are so attached to a piece of technology. But in another way it’s bad. I feel like advertisements are the ones to blame for this. We are constantly being convinced that we “need” the latest phone. When we finally get it, we feel like we should always be with it. I really think this nomophobia is only going to become more common as time goes on and cell phones are able to do even more than they can now.

I recently had a family dinner,and my two cousins happened to be there. While I tried to talk to the twelve year old, I realized he was pretty much ignoring me. Every time I asked him something, he would be too interested in his phone to actually answer. This is when I started to realize that parents buying smartphones for their young kids just makes no sense. There can’t be any reason why a twelve year old would need to be able to check their e-mail on the go. Do they really need to be able to go on Facebook all the time? I honestly think kids will only become spoiled if they are given an smartphone. It will only cause them to want the next newest gadget, and then it’s a never ending cycle from there. I strongly believe parents should think twice before buying their child the next $200 phone.

Although there might not be proof that using your cell phone causes cancer, it turns out that it could actually cause you to be selfish. The main point that was proven was that if you are out somewhere and you are on your phone, you are less likely to  be pro social. This really does make sense, because people tend to be content when they are playing with their phone. Even if they are in a social setting, they probably won’t feel the need to get off their phone and communicate with others. This means that they will probably not get off their phone and help someone out. They will be more into themselves and their phone. I think smartphones have only made this worse, because they have only caused people to spend more time on their phone.

I probably check my email 20 to 30 times a day. I have become addicted. I am constantly checking my email because I do not have a smart phone. I understand that I am in the minority, but I am unwilling to pay the extra monthly costs to have internet access on my phone. I know many people have smart phones, and they are alerted whenever a new email comes in. Since I do not have a smart phone, I just check my email all of the time. I check it while I am at work, and I check it when I get home through my clear wireless internet Odessa. The only problem is that I have so much junk mail all of the time. Every time I have made a purchase online, I give my email address out. Now I get emails from every company from whom I have ever purchased a product. It is ridiculous. I am addicted to checking my email, but I have to check it a lot because I am constantly deleting all of the junk mail that comes into my inbox.

My wife usually uses my old t-shirts when it comes to sleep attire. As you can imagine, this means that I run out of my own undershirts pretty quickly. She doesn’t like jammies, so I thought I’d get her a set of hospital scrubs to try out – she was all for it.

I pocketed my trusty Nokia cellphone in case I had to make any quick calls to the wifey or MMS a picture of a scrub back to her, then I headed to the nearby medical uniform store. Low and behold, there were so many scrubs to choose from. Black ones, brown ones, white ones, green ones and of course blue ones. I decided to take some pics and send them over to the wifey for feedback. So, I pulled out my camera phone, took some shots and texted them home.

Almost instantly she texted back with the message, Check out http://www.blueskyscrubs.com/categories/Scrubs/Scrubs-for-Women/Original-Scrubs/ – the prices are so much cheaper and you get the same stuff!

I did a little price-checking of my own, online. I love these little mobile devices. I remember back in the day when mobile phones were the size of car batteries – no longer. Anyway, I had to of course re-use the ever popular phrase, “you’re right.” My wife loves it when I say that. The moral of the story: shop online first and never ask the wife for advice via text message!
