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 all well and good for you, but in fact I do NEED my cellphone for work. Can't live without it. Just like I can't live without the Internet for work. Both weren't available when I graduated from University, but now both are necessities. Thats just the way it is. Times change.
So yes, at least one person on this planet NEEDS a cellphone.
