The cell phone has made me a bit more apathetic to my surroundings and I don’t believe I’m alone. Where in the past when I saw an accident or someone stuck on the road I would stop or at least call 911 now a days I assume they have a phone and things are being taken care of. Of course if an accident happens right in front of me I’ll stop and try to help but if it’s any distance I’ll use this rule. I wonder if I make this assumption when it comes to other situation where I assume a friend/family member has someone they could speak to so why bother making the call? Maybe I’m just bothering by calling anyway and I’ll just text later and later? Which begs the question has the cell phone made us closer or pulled us apart?
