Cell Phones: Are They A Luxury or Necessity

By Elane Williams

Cellular phones have been called on to the carpet in legislators in some provinces and states. The small appliance has been responsible for causing various accidents and have even resulted in deaths. The person using it is usually driving and because they are more interested in their conversation than watching the road their reflexes are slower and then it is a clear case of careless driving.

To those of us with chronic illness though they aren't a luxury, they are almost a necessity for us especially those of us with mobility problems. I have witnessed several times in the past year when somebody could have used one and was stuck waiting for somebody else to rescue them.The professional that maintains and repairs my scooter suggested a cell phone for several very good reasons and now I tend to agree with him.

I have used mine in different situations, to call home when we were going to be late. Calling a cab when the car wouldn't start. Calling to say I was fine so my family wouldn't worry about me and then there is always calling the mechanic then a tire goes flat on your main transportation when your out and about.

These wouldn't seem like good enough reasons for some people. My experience has been that when you have a chronic condition or disability family and friends tend to worry when you are late or they can't get in touch with you.So for the small investment of between $50 and $100 and the cell phone companies coming up with different service plan there is sure to be one that is duible for you. So it might be worth it for you to buy one and keep it owith you all the time or just for emergencies.
