I'm not sure I understand exactly what you're saying bub, you have a lot of misspelled words in there ~LoL~
But I remember when cell phones were first introduced...they were mainly made for the travelers, for when people had a break down on the road and they needed to call for assistance...or at least, that's why I thought they came out on the market.
Who knew it would beconme such a thing as people's lifelines *ha*

 

[blastoff]

And yet without them the world got along just fine.

Now though you can be in a conversation with someone and the instant their phone rings that call is more important than whatever they were talking to you about.

Get off yer cellphone an' drive...

NTSB: All states should ban cellphone use while driving
13 Dec.`11 - State governments should prohibit all drivers from using portable electronic devices such as cellphones while behind the wheel, the National Transportation Safety Board unanimously recommended Tuesday.

The recommendation from the safety board followed a hearing on a Missouri highway crash on Aug. 5, 2010, which killed two people and injured 38. The chain-reaction crash of four vehicles included two school buses. The board ruled that the initial collision was caused by a pickup driver, Daniel Schatz, 19, who was one of the fatalities, sending 11 text messages in the 11 minutes before the crash. His pickup rammed the back of a tractor-trailer that had slowed for construction on Interstate 44 near Gray Summit. Schatz's truck was then rear-ended by a school bus, which was rear-ended by another school bus. The buses, which investigators found had brake problems, carried members of the John F. Hodge High School band. A student, Jessica Brinker, 15, who sat in the last row of the first bus, died in the crash.

"Two lives lost in the blink of an eye," said Deborah Hersman, the board chairman. "No call, no text, no update is worth a life." An estimated 3,092 traffic fatalities in 2010 were blamed on distracted drivers, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. More than one in six drivers send text messages while driving, and nearly half of drivers less than 25 years old are doing it, according to a NHTSA survey released last week. "This is becoming the new DUI," said Robert Sumwalt, a member of the safety board. "It's becoming an epidemic."

The District of Columbia and 35 states ban text messaging for all drivers, according to the Governors Highway Safety Association. No state bans all cellphone use for drivers, but nine states and D.C. ban drivers from using handheld cellphones while driving. Association spokesman Jonathan Adkins said the group supports a texting ban and found in a July report that cell-phone use increases the risk of a crash. He said he expects the safety-board's recommendation to spur debate, as his group calls for more research on whether banning hands-free use of cell phones makes driving safer. "This could be a game-changer," Adkins said.

Missouri has a state law prohibiting drivers under 21 years old like the pickup driver from sending texts while driving. But state police issued only 120 tickets for the offense during a two-year period, Sumwalt said. The board's federal recommendation for private vehicles would greatly expand previous calls to prohibit cellphone use among commercial drivers. In September 2010, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration banned commercial drivers from text messaging while operating trucks and buses. The rule applies to about 4 million drivers. The agency just adopted a prohibition Nov. 23 against commercial drivers using hand-held cellphones while behind the wheel. Violations carry a $2,750 fine.

Cellphone search doesn't require warrant...

Court allows warrantless cellphone search
3/01/12 - A federal appeals court in Chicago ruled on Wednesday that police did not violate a suspect's constitutional rights when they searched his cellphone without a warrant.

In the decision, Judge Richard Posner noted that the case has implications for whether police can search computers without a warrant because modern cellphones essentially are computers. In the case, Indiana police arrested Abel Flores-Lopez, a suspected drug dealer, and seized his cellphone. Without a warrant, they used his phone to discover its number, and then used the number to subpoena call records from his telephone company.

Prosecutors used the call records as evidence to convict Flores-Lopez on drug charges. His lawyers argued that the records should have been excluded from the trial because the search violated his Fourth Amendment right to be protected from "unreasonable searches and seizures." But the three-judge panel of the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals disagreed, ruling that using a phone to discover its number is not invasive enough to require a search warrant.

Posner acknowledged that cellphones can contain deeply personal information, but he said police only searched the phone for its number, which he called a "modest cost in invasion of privacy." He compared the search to seizing a diary to verify the person's name and address. "If police are entitled to open a pocket diary to copy the owner’s address, they should be entitled to turn on a cell phone to learn its number," Posner wrote.

He added that if police are banned from reading love letters wedged between the pages of an address book, they should also be banned from reading love messages in a phone. He noted that police could have discovered the phone number in two clicks if it was an iPhone and one click if it was a Blackberry (the trial court never specified the model of the phone). "We are quite a distance from the use of the iCam to view what is happening in the bedroom of the owner of the seized cell phone," Posner wrote.

Cellphones are the bane of modern society.

Anybody can talk and drive but how the hell can you type a message on a little keyboard and cruise along at 75 on the interstate or dodge city traffic at 45 mph?

Anyone remember IMTS?

 

[Katzndogz]

I remember when there were no cell phones so there were pay phones. There are no more pay phones so we pretty much have to have cell phones. I have three.

 

[Douger]

I've owned two. Gave each one away after using them for a few months or so. Never knew the numbers. I only used them to call out and order materials.
