"Cell Phones and Social Graces"

       Charles Fisher's essay "Cell Phones and Social Graces" is about how cell phones draw people away from the things/times that are important. For example family vacations or a dinner with an old friend. Fisher is against cell phones because of the fact that it could distract a person from simple things like saying " Hi, how are you today" to a stranger as your walking down the street. I agree with Fisher, but I think a person should own a cell phone it is a good investment in case you get stranded on the side of the road, but I don't think that you should let it your life revolve around the device.
       I think that now days people let cell phones become their life. All the time you see people on their cell phones in the mall, at the movies, even driving their car (even thought that's illegal people don't even care). It's ridiculous how people will start fighting with someone on the phone while in the middle of the grocery store. I think that people should use cell phones for things like needing to get a hold of someone, or for an emergency. I don't think that someone should be as rude as to use their phone during an important event or just when going to the movies it's common courtesy to put your cell phone on vibrate. When your always on your cell phone sometimes you might be too busy to say hi to the person walking by you or say thank you to the bag boy that just bagged your groceries at the market it's the little things that matter.
