You just biew that the guy talking on that phone w-as a major pla er, and everyone else had to use the coin phone next ti the cloak- room. Now, almost ;in ' c ne c;m own a cell phtine, and it seems that ever ' lxxiy wimts to do sci.

Yet another reason why many petiple own cell phones is because they come in hiuidy in the case of ;in emer- gency. McKt paraits will tell ' ou they feel safer knowing their son or daughter always has a phone within reich. A main attraction is the con- venience of being able to get a hold of anycine at anytime. Adding to the rtxrent trend, cell phones ha e only be- come more affordable as the technology lxx:omes commonplace. Some students e ' en use cell phones iis a cheap ;Jtemati ' e to long dist;ince ser- vice. Sxin cell phones mav Iv the only phones [XMple uill ever need.
