I’m 67
And grew up without cellular phones
Or for that matter computers.
While I use my phone all the time for communication with family and friends.
And local news and maps.
It’s very helpful.
Never games or social media, they bore me.
And I go without my phone for days at a time.
I survive. -

Hi,
In my opinion ,to be connected all the time is not good thing, the cellularphone towers cause more damaged to human and environnement. Many sciences research was measured their bad effects to the nature.
But, in the other side the celleular phone was saved more life in an emergency situation.
I think that is more dofficult to me and to humanity in general to return back without technologies.

Our life before cellphones and mobile devices was simple and bases human values.At first, people didn t wait an occasion for visite members of family or Friends, though,nowaday it become so different just by a call that de fer their news, Also, people become less gregarious they prefer to be in social media,to play games alone by phone device.then,it s really unhealthy it damage our eyes.However,it has many advantages,the most important for me that it remove the barrier of distance when de live so far from family.Finally if i could back to a life before i will prefer without this dependance of cellphone.
