I’ve got a cell phone. So does pretty much everyone I know. And I tell ya, whoever owns these phone companies, they are rakin’ it in for real. They’re makin the big bucks. This shits bigger than MySpace and, although it’s a cryin’ shame, that’s saying something.

I remember not too long ago when cell phones were just that – cell phones. Ok, it was a little while ago, but thats not the point. It was simple. The number buttons, star, pound, and a call/hangup button. And that was that. Just a plain and simple phone that you could carry around with you. Nothin more, nothin less.

Well, that was then. And this is now. And now that shits gone outta control. Now number one on every 12-year-olds wish list is a cell phone. Well…yeah, that’s a given, but still! Come ON, man! That new video game that little Johnny wanted so bad? It ain’t no video game anymore. Its a cell phone. That little dolly that Lucy wanted? Not doll. Cell phone.

We now have everything BUT cell phones. Apple is working on an iPhone that flies you cross the country while giving you dome, it’s great! Sure, you can make calls with them. But who does it that often anymore? Hardly anybody. Now the phones provide games, internet, AIM, messaging, cameras, video cameras, prostitution, and much, much more. So why waste your time getting up and stepping out of the movie theater to make a call when you can just send a text message? Or maybe get on AIM and just instant message your friends? Forget a girlfriend, you got the iPhone!

Soon, everybodies life is gonna be in their cell phone. No more briefcase, no more going home to get on the computer. No more going to the office to do work. And then…BAM! Its slips out of your pocket, and your lifes work is gone, easy as that. Then what sucka? Get ready while you still can.
