Cell phone use
with all peoples, it seems to be attached, to their hands, as they just cant shake it loose

People have their face, in their phone
everything in an instant-- glimpse and finger slide and tap, is in an instant to them--expertly-- know

No need to stop, and look at a map, for direction
with GPS, on a cell phone, instantly, the location, is found, and done

I do think that is pretty cool
and the GPS,really is a great, time saving tool

Just think in 1986, it was called the PLARS, system, in the USMC
and was in use for training in the field, and look what the GPS, today thirty-years latter, has come to be

Many a collect call, did i have to wait in line to make, from many an overseas location
i would make, a collect call home to my mom, and the operator would say, to my mom in minnesota, this is a collect call from john, would you accept the call, and then mom would say no, and she knew it was me  --her--john boy -- and i was okay,-- and --her --MARINE--SON

Now a days every toddler, and adult, have a cell phone in there hand
lying down, siting or stand

Even when recently disneyland i went
every persons waiting in the lines, to go on a ride, not a word to others was spoken, as everyone, smiled at their phones ,were taking selfies, and-- text --messages --were- sent

You will see people, even a big, families going out to eat
but once they all sit down, together, everyone of them, is on their phones texing others and, have no time to communicate even with their very own family to greet

One day a restaurant will post a -rule
just leave your cell phones in your purse or pocket, as the rule, and that would be pretty cool

Kids hardly go outside anymore to play
as they interact, with the internet, text, selfies and pokemon games, communicating on a cell phone every second, minute and hour after hour of each and every -day

I can see the many great outstanding benefits, of cell phone use
but more and more, as im watching peoples in public and in private, how cell phone use, is becoming , to many millions too obsessive and abuse

I wont deny, the convenience, of goggling information, in a second
but with this great communication, technology, look how enslaved that people of all ages toddler to centurians have become

On --cell--phones--on --computers,-- instagram,-- twitter,-- and --so --many --various,-- internet-wi-fi----groups --they --text ---And-- talk
but we ae missing the basics, --- of ---eye ----to ---eye,--- heart ---to ---heart ----communication,---- as we go through our life, living, and love--walk
