Wow! Has anyone ever lost or left their phone somewhere and been out of touch with the people they normally keep in touch with while using their phone or other device? I experience this feeling every time I miss place my phone or it loses battery power and I have no way of charging it. When this happens, I have the eerie feeling that I do not exist. I am lost and no one can find me. It's scary...and strange to think that at one time we survived without cell phones. At one time, a world existed where you couldn't just casually text words to other people to let them know that you were good...that you were cool, chillin, and LOL-ing. SOOOO weird.
Yes. It can be a surreal experience. When my family was living in London in 2007 we were without cell phones AND I had reliable Internet access only a couple days a week (and never in my classrooms). It took a while to re-acclimate to the texting, LOLing world of the states when we returned home...
