| as far as a cell phone.. VERY useful. im not saying everyone has to use theirs all the time if they have one but i think everyone should have one for emergencies. for example, my 85 year old grandparents have a cellphone. really the only thing thye know how to do with it is make a call and charge it. my grandpa still drives, if something were to happen when they were out or on the road wouldnt they want to call for help IMMEDIATELY and not have to wait for someone else to come along. it could be the difference between life and death in some cases
and facebook, i personally wouldnt like to live without it. it helps me remember names and is indispensible when it comes to keeping in touch with friends from HS. i really think that it has helped me stay just as close with my HS friends over the course of a year of being apart. really good for getting notification of events/parties on campus out to everyone. but this one you could definetly live without in college when compared to a cell phone. i dont know ANYONE who has a landline. and personally, im barely ever in my room. it would be so hard to coordinate when to meet up with friends or for group projects. and cabs.. definetly necessary for calling 3am cabs on the weekends |
