A mad rush, to check your e-mail, check your answering machine or voice mail, did you miss a call?
A familiar sounding ring: is that yours? Make a spectacle of yourself, searching your pockets or backpack or purse trying to locate that little phone.
What the hell!? Are you that scared of being disconnected, you have to be able to be reached? What the hell!?
How can you stand it? Every moment of every day, carry your phone, check your messages... afraid to not answer.
And notice the one day you forget your phone at home you're worried sick: "What if somebody tried to reach me and I didn't answer?"
Cell phones and other forms of electronic communication lure people into a dependant state of security. Once it's gone, you're scared because you feel empty, and alone. Cut off from the world.
Why can't you just disconnect?
