Cell phones do distract while driving. I don't like to use them while I’m driving. I believe people think "well I can coordinate a conversation and drive" but it's too risky! (IMHO).

I think the good outweighs the bad as far as having one though; I don't like being tied to one but I think the convenience is far better. At least I know where the off button is located.

I also have a pet peeve with how small they are getting. I have a tendency to yell into them where they are so small.

Our house is aluminum sticks and aluminum wrapped (kind of like a big airstream!) Nothing cellular works in it. We all have cell phones and it drives the kids crazy that the fossil parents always A. forget to have a phone with them or B. it isn't charged. I don't know why I keep paying on the bills. However my college son's cell phone is a joy as it is the ONLY way I have of getting in touch with him, even if it's leaving a message. Both kids know to call the regular home phone which I always answer. Even my dog has a phone of her own- a pawprint 911 alert phone- now if I could get her to stop pressing it whenever she wants a treat!!!!! We're working on that before it's officially hooked up. silver suz

59toaster,
if your on I-75 or Ga-400 during the times you are on the road you should be able to talk freely as you are probally stopped in traffic.

Well I haven't gone to the extreme and left behind all modern forms of communication. At the very least I would always have a radio around to listen to weather reports if nothing else. Now TV I probably wouldn't miss all that much since it has been forever since I have seen any type of quality show, That's not counting reruns.
As far as the cell phone goes, I guess as a business consultant I am expected to have one, but it does have one great thing - Voice Mail. This helps me because I never carry it into a meeting. I think it is a very rude pratice to answer your cell phone when your right in the middle of discussing an issue the client has just to say that you are with a client and will return their call later..........
