Lincoln: Another advantage is clearer for somebody like myself who travels often and is rarely home, it lets me stay in contact with people when I'm not at home. But the case is applicable to anybody who is out and about often. Having a cell phone means you're always "at home". This also makes distance a non-issue. It becomes easier to stay in contact with friends or loved ones who are far away from you, although I would argue that land lines are a better tool for this (actually letters are the best), because cell phones are by nature a short conversation tool. Because they're used when you're on the go and moving about. Which makes them a less than ideal tool for keeping in touch with those far away from you, because of the limited amount of attention that can be spent focusing on the conversation at hand.
