Again, our readers have spoken. And again, they have spoken incorrectly. I am starting to wonder if I am just an idiot. But then again, since I am writing this post and therefore making the final decision, this can’t possibly be true. Anyway, hundreds of people voted and over 65% of you said you would rather go without a cell phone for a year instead of having to deal with a 28k dial-up internet connection for a year. I have to admit, this is a tough one. The dial-up is absolutely miserable, no doubt. But I don’t even remember how to use a regular phone. Do they even sell those anymore? Let’s get to it:
Your Social Life:
Without a cell, you would be dead in the water. What, are you going to take that girls number from the bar and write it on a napkin? It’s already embarrassing enough to a take a number on any cell phone that isn’t an iPhone (f u Apple)…but the old napkin move would almost guarantee that fake number. Point: Cell Phone.
Your Work Life:
These days, the internet and the cell are both necessary. And a lack of either could get you fired from certain jobs. But, the cell though is like a ball and chain. You are always within 6 inches of your bosses next request, which makes me want to punch him/her. A quality internet connection, on the other hand, can allow you to surf with the best them at work during those “pretend work” times…30-50% of most people’s day. Point: Internet.
Personal Life:
In one scenario you get access to lots and lots and lots of porn. In the other, your significant other gets to know where you are ALWAYS. Point: Internet.
Shit. I guess upon further review I agree with our readers. Internet wins! Screw you crackberry.
