Are you enslaved by your cellphone?

I got rid of my cellphone 10 years ago. I rarely miss it.

May cell phone is an electronic leash. I'm always to have and respond to any calls. In short, I'm never off from work. Yes, a call or incoming email message is unsettling. I have the urge to answer immediately. I have too. The cell is the scourge to my sanity and peace of mind. It is expected that I'm available 24/7. It has ruined many a planned outing. Personally, I hate the damn things. When I retire I will not carry a cell phone. If I'm not reachable there is a reason for it.
