I had a cell phone for one year while my wife was pregnant. Used it twice, forgot the number and cancelled it as soon as the contract was up. Nobody on this planet NEEDS a cell phone. Nobody.

That is true, and that just goes to show you how much technology has overplayed such a role in our lives and seems to be everything. I've tried focusing on using the phone, just for emergenies only, because I tell you there is nothing worse than having your car break down in the middle of nowhere in minus 35 weather lol. I have about 3 months left on my contract. I give you full props for giving it up, it takes a lot of commitment for that, coming from a 9 yr user of one - first phone was when I was 16. Look at kids now, my cousin who is 12 has one and their parents put them on a business plan lol.
