Helen Besoe: Would I even notice a day without my cellphone?

Would I even notice a day without my cellphone?

I think the biggest inconvenience for me would be not know what time it is. My cellphone is also my watch as I don't particularly like wearing wrist watches.

Other than that, my phone doesn't really see that much use.

I call my parents on weekends. Occasionally I'll get a call from them, or my friends or boyfriend. But there aren't really that many people who I need to call or who need to call me.

I really wouldn't mind not having a cell phone for a day (or a week or more) as long as I had a pocket watch or something.

On a sidenote... I LOVE pocket watches!
