Cellular phone concept

We sure love our cellular telephones. Heaven forbid we'd every have to survive without them. I'm fairly certain the world would fall apart if such an event were to occur. My question is; how are so many people using their cell phones so much? I mean really, what are they chatting about and who are they talking to. I know that all of those calls can't be too important. I believe since everyone has a mobile phone now days, they simply take them for granted as much as humanly possible. They gat board on the way home from work and they call their spouse to talk about virtually nothing. Or they're sitting in a shopping mall having lunch and they call up a friend to chat about whatever. Hmm, I guess these handy little phones are much more than emergency devices. But what about the kind of mobile phone you purchase? Is this really all that important? Does it have to be a Razr as opposed to an older model? Does it have to be fresh out of Best Buy or can you acquire a pre owned cell phone?

I have a new take on the cellular phone concept. Like the Internet, our cell phones can reveal plenty of information. I think it's safe to say that we've all seen or heard about the Paris Hilton cell phone photos, and the sexual predators trying to contact young teens on their cell phones. Mobile phones are definitely a window of some sort. Information can leak out and strange people can get in. So where does this leave the pre owned cell phone? Well, there just may be oodles of information left on that mobile telephone if it wasn't properly disposed of. Quite possibly information that you don't want anyone else to have access to. Now, what you need to do it either switch the memory card, erase it, or remove the battery. Something that will actually destroy the data you once used. The last thing you want is for someone to purchase your pre owned cell phone and have access to crucial information.

The media is now saying that tons of information has been passed on through pre owned cell phones. Pictures, phone numbers, and other personal information have been compromised. You won't catch me selling my cellular phone. I'd rather destroy the darn thing.
