Positive effects of cellphones

As society becomes more and more technologically advanced, it's important to at least have the basics - starting with the cell phone. It has become somewhat of a life-or-death matter; without it, people are often lost. Having a cell phone allows you to call someone/911 in an emergency, check your e-mail on the go, and in general, it's just a better way to communicate with people if you're not someone who stays home a lot.
