Well buy the look of how many blogs I have written in the last three days this cruise is going to be long haha. I swear it feels like im writing enough for a month but I still have to write 3 more at the time of this blog post. So this blog post is going to be very different then the rest of my blog posts. Im going to talk about the fact that I will not have a cell phone or internet for a week and how that affects me.

Well you see its funny because you dont notice how much you use or rely on a certain thing in your daily life. For example: a cell phone. Take it as simple as it is. We use this constantly to communicate with each other. For example on this cruise I know people that are there. If I want to find them on this HUGE ship it would be hard to find them. Your first reaction would be to pick up a cell phone and call there cell phone. Both of you dont have one though so now its harder to find them.

Another thing: Im a very active twitter user. I love to twitter. It lets me express whats on my mind. Just like this blog but in a short sentence or two. Whenever I have something I want to share or say or a feeling i want to express I would normally just pull out my phone and tweet away. This is going to be interesting to get with the concept of not having a phone to grab. Its kinda like when your battery runs out of battery and you forget and go to pull it out but then you remember its out of battery.

No internet is as big of a deal I guess. Its more of the fact that Im basically gone from the world for a week that im interested in. I guess its a good thing. It might be a refresher. Im not saying that its bad that we depend or use the internet, im just saying it would be nice to be disconnected.

So I’ll write more about this when I get back. Like if it was hard or if it was really a refresher. Or if it was just pure torture and all I could think of was twittering the whole time!! lol

In a recent study, 35% of 8 year olds have been known to have a cell phone. Why?
It gets better:
According to the study by the charity Personal Finance Education Group, the average child gets a cellphone when they’re 8 years old!!!!

WHY?!?!
Do you realize that at age 8 they are finally learning there multiplication and division. They should not be needing cell phones. I do not get this. Can someone explain why a 8 year old needs a cell phone?
Who would leave a 8 year old in a position where they needed to call someone (cause you know that 8 year olds have like 2 million best friends) and not have a house phone OR THERE PARENT/GUARDIAN with them?!?!?!

What fucked up society right?
Now enough with all the electronics shit. Next post will be about a talented celebrity. well… kinda celebrity.
