No phones

So the first day of school I broke my phone in half. It sucked. I found out that college without a phone was really hard because everyone is meeting each other and it is hard to communicate with new friends and old friends without a phone. This made me wonder what it was like before Alexander Bell created the phone. I guess it would make people actually go to each other’s houses to talk to each other, but what if someone is at the store and needs to see what kind of ferret legs his/her friend wants? It would be very hard to do that and since ferret legs are so rare, it would just be a waste of time to buy ones that person does not like so the kindness of buying ferret legs will not be there, and that sucks. I guess people must have not gotten many ferret leg presents like I do now because my friends call me if they want to give me ferret or any kind of rodent legs for me to eat. Ferret legs aside, I feel as though it is very hard to communicate without having a phone to call people with. Phones make life so much easier, if you are bored, you can just pick up your phone and talk to someone that you have not talked to in a while, like your ex girlfriend/boyfriend, your mom, or even the person that gave you their number because that person thought you were really cute. In the olden days, this would not have happened, on the contrary, if you were bored you probably had to write a long winded essay on how you were bored and sent it to a mail carrier to give to the person that you wanted to send it to which would probably bore that person and then make the person not like you anymore. With a phone you could even maybe go on a date or instantly talk about your feelings which are what every person wants to do with their lives, talk about their feelings and listen to someone talk for hours. I mean that is why we go to college, to listen to people talk for hours and hours.

  1. I totally agree, not having a phone would suck and it would be pretty impossible to get ferrett leg presents. What a sad life people in olden times must have lived.
