If we only have a stable internet connection in our house, then I can really live without my mobile phone. 🙂

I grew up without one so yes I could live without it. I prefer to live with it though.

Can calmly state I wouldn't use the phone if I had no job. I got my first one quite late....think i was round 18. I do have a new one right now - and it was mainly bought for the camera. I curently have about 40 listed contacts. The salesman was shocked after checking my usage....i just don't like em that much. I think we lost a bit of patience with them....I mean I dont call my family that im coming over. I sit in my car and drive there....if they aint home i just *sigh* and go back home. Now everything is an appointment. You expect everything to be done NOW and FAST.

to be honest in this age of internet i can't live without it

Facebook can wait, but what about Steemit??😄  I've built my whole page from my phone, I type this on one now. For your old mobiles I have a nice solution, balance them on hanging wires, create a mobile mobile.

As for the kids of today, I wouldn't worry to much about it, the generation before was 'kids today with their video games, before that, TVs, Before that  rock and roll, gramophones, electricity... The nature of progress is such that each generation enters into a world that simply exists, I remember seeing the Internet for the first time in grade 6, some magic modem thing our school had gotten. Now kids have iPads from school. The future rushes on, we just have to remember to find a balance.

I sure could not!

Thanks for the support!

I'm still using an old clamshell from 2008! It's good only for sending texts and making calls. The camera is so basic it doesn't take good pictures, and of course you can't go online with it. Yet it fits my needs as I prefer to go online when at home using my laptop and a proper keyboard.

I think it's all well and good as long as you don't use them too much when in the company of other people. That's just a bit rude

The small screen generation.
It's quite sad how these have taken over our lives... Do I love my iPhone? Of course, but there should be boundaries - social boundaries...
I have a collection of old phones too - from way before color screens and cameras were even on phones!! Love my old phones though ;)
If it wasn't for WhatsApp, I'd easily use an old phone ;)

i basically do, i have a stupid flip phone... but i revolve around my work and home computers and an ipad

If it wasn't for work, I could go without for a while

I was resisting it also at first! And now that I don't have a computer anymore, I am really glad I have my mobile phone! I do everything with it.

I was about 18 before I gave in to the then new fad of everyone getting a phone, around 1999 I'd say.  And again I resisted getting a smartphone for the first few years.  First got a mobile because I missed a couple of buses and by the time I got into town the group I was meeting left the meeting spot (ah life before phones). Then to get a smart phone I upgraded to the cheapest around

It was enough of a taste, now I have a 1+ and likely to upgrade to a 1+5 soon. I am on it constant.

But when I travel and have no data or battery management may be trouble I am happy to be without it for hours days etc.  I honestly think I could live with out  it any amount of time, but and it's a big but, I wouldn't want to, it is the most useful tool I have.

So could I live without it? yes, would I no, not a chance.

Absolutely - to answer the question at the top.

I actually turn it off most of the time.  There is no need to instantly disrupt someone else's live - or my own for that matter.

Nevertheless - it's a convenient tool - and I use it as **needed**. I certainly don't *worship* it.

PS:// Facebook aka __F^c^book?__ ***Never!***

I could live without a phone but not without internet.:)

in last 10 years i had all kind of phones and smartphones started with n-gage and so on. last 3 years im using old samsung  who have battery life 1 week and without all gadgets only to talk :) so i think ye i can easily

Life style has been changed now its impossible to give more time to friends and family and we all are badly addicted.

I think that the phone has change our life in a positive and in a negative way. We are connected and we have all the information in our hands, but we miss a lot of things being all the time checking WhatsApp, fb , etc and it s really difficult to leave it in a bag or a pocket it s like an addiction and a perfect way to control us, dangerous.

Hello there! I live in a third world country in impending Doom! one of our commodities is that people like stealing cellphones hence because I'm so special; mine got stolen almost a year ago. And yes sir! that is the time I have without a cellphone so maybe that makes me a living legend or something. You may be asking yourself-how is that possible? quick answer, our minimun wage is 25 bucks as I'm speaking because yesterday was at 30, and obviously the expenses surpass my earnings so there you go! is it possible to live without a phone for a year. You just only have to live in a third world country where your expense is only destined for eating, cause we gotta eat, don't we? 

For a Bonus, is it possible to work on a S&%&y computer, too.

I'd go back to buying mp3 players, buying books, having an extra camera and yes, internet from home only... but why? It's good like that

Phone is important, but many are severely affected by it. Since then they have overlooked many other joys in life.

Hmmm yes ( if you wanna stay in jungle :- you needed weapon to stay  alive ) 
If you talking about in city no way without mobile  ( just like in jungle have no weapon ) . 
???

Honestly, living without phone is like sleeping without closing your eyes :D
I cannot live without my phone! Without it, I am like a person from the Stone Age Era!

Technically We can. But now time is different and needs are different. We found a lot of shortcuts and We get used to it, so... We cannot live without phones :)

Tbh i have had the same iphone 4 with a cracked screen for about 6 years now and i barely even use it, so i think i could live without it, plus i don't even like to talk on the phone in public, also that Motorola is ancient @steevc 😂

Many times to use a mobile phone but I can not dispense with it permanently

I went 3 months without my cell phone its called basic training
