Message From The Dark Side

Recently I broke my mobile phone, and for the past few weeks I've had to make do with a quite old Motorola.
The KRAZR I think it's called.

It's shite.

I can pick the out the things it does differently to my old mobile, and criticize it all day long.
I hate using it.

So, yesterday, I went outside without it.
For the first time in about 6 years, I left the house without my mobile phone.

And it was brilliant.

Without a phone you have no control over other people.
You can't text people and organise to see them.
If anything bad happens, you can't contact anyone.

It scary. And fun.

Getting rid of my mobile phone got rid of my sense of responsibility. It challenged me to be more pro-active in getting what I needed. Also, weirdly, it gave me a sense of power.

It reminded me that if I want to go see someone, then I had to get of my arse, and go and see them. Not be lazy and just text them.

I'm becoming quite the technophobe.
