A good friend and university professor of mine, Bruce Firestone, wrote a [great article about not owning a cell phone](http://www.eqjournalblog.com/?p=55 “The EQ Journal Blog » Re-Thinking the Cell Phone”).
I haven’t had a cell phone for over a year now.. not sure if it is two years or more to be honest. Think I’m doing just fine

Funny thing is, I just got my first cellphone a few months ago. I got it in case I have to make a 9-1-1 call. If for no other reason, it’s worth having one.
Otherwise, I don’t have much use for it. In fact, the only people who have my number are my son, my wife, and my employer. But even then, my employer is allowed to use for it emergencies only. So, basically, the thing sits unused in my pocket.
