You must have heard of my husband, the cell phone addict!!! He wants to have it on for weddings & funerals & he isn't on call for anything. Its on day & night & when it rings, he jumps up immediately to get it, tripping over anything in the way in the process. I have to wait for a break in calls just to have a conversation with him.

Hmmm... Odd, have you ever read the novel Cell, by Stephen King? It's eerily relevant to what you're asking about here. Anyway, I don't think the cell phones have control over people so much as it is that cell phones serve as a catalyst for people's lives and schedules to become so entrenched that they begin to control the person. So the person is dependant on the cell phone to maintain the hectic, contact based lifestyle that it allows them to lead, and someone who's stuck in that kind of a rut is virtually helpless without one, but I wouldn't say that the cell phone controls them directly, it just makes it very easy for them to get in over their heads.

Yes. for some people, their cellphone has become their third ear. is it an addiction? Some people talk SO LOUD on a cellphone, that they do not need a cellphone. just go outside and shout.

Cell phones drive me crazy. Everyone you see is holding a phone to their head or are text messaging! I have developed an aversion to the things over time. Makes business contacts getting in touch with me after hours alot harder, but I get so annoyed by them that after one call too many in a day, I will throw it against a wall, throw it in the river, in a dumpster..etc..Just killed number 11 for the year last week..LOL
