Everyone has to have a cell phone. You'd think they were as necessary as underwear. I don't have one, don't want one, don't need one.
Why do I say "Dump your Cell phone?" Because you don't need it. You don't need the expense. I don't know how many times I have been talking to a poor musician complaining about how broke they were and wish they could afford a better amp and then pick up their cell phone and start texting someone.
Now, I considered getting one once and when I found out how much it would cost to have one, my reaction was no thanks. Anywhere from $80 to $500 a month depending on use. Do the math... That's somewhere between $1000 and $6000 per year. I can buy some pretty nice gear... every year for that expense.
The sad part of this whole ordeal is, that most people that have cell phones still have their land line as well. I just don't get it.
Now there is another reason to dump your cell phone. "Big Brother." Here's a great conspiracy in the world of conspiracy theories. Did you know that your cell phone is a surveillance device? Punch in a code from a remote location and someone can turn on the microphone to your cell phone and listen to anyone in ear shot. And the phone doesn't even need to be on for this to work. The camera can be turned on in the same way as well. The only way to prevent it is too remove the battery. Protocol in top secret government meetings for cell phones is none are allowed without the batteries being removed.
Some are coming out with GPS tracking devices in them as well. This is sold to you in the pretense that if you are injured or lost then they can find you and come rescue you. Gee... I didn't know they cared so much for my welfare... isn't that nice!
You don't need to pay for the government to spy on you. Dump your Cell phone!
