We have twenty- four hours of communication.

When I am buying a paper and a snack at 7-11 or if I sit down to

take a rest at my favorite coffee shop.

The cellular telephone has totally changed our relationship.

I can always talk to you.

The other day you reached me on the beach.

I told you about the smell of the ocean air and the power

of the waves crashing against the shore.

We shared a wonderful experience through this invention of convenience.

But my dear the cellular telephone is only convenient

when you want to be reached, if there is a problem between us

it quickly becomes an invention of inconvenience and annoyance.

The other day I tried to call you at three different times.

On the first occasion you said you were in a thick walled building

that blocked the signal.

The second call you said you had a low battery

and forgot to charge it, and finally you said

you didn’t have a chance to pay the bill.

My dear, the cellular telephone is only as good as our relationship.
