This year for spring break, my 10 closest friends and I ventured to Playa Del Carmen, Mexico.
We all survived. Some of us had closer calls then others, but we all made it back to the US.
I had an epiphany on my Mexican, tequila-fueled spring break. Being in Mexico and south of the boarder meant that our cellular devices lost service. More accurately, they became exponentially more expensive to use in the land of body shots and topless beaches. We all had to put our phones aside, leave those back in the states behind, and live in the moment and only converse with those in our presence. This lead me to the conclusion that the only way people must have survived without cell phones in ancient times (up until the 90s) is that they must have been telepathic and cell phones have caused people to evolve and lose their cerebral communication abilities. This is the world's best kept secret. It is the ONLY logical explanation.
As members of this further evolved generation who lack any sort of telepathic talent, we got lost in the airport, panicked over missing friends, and felt the need to bring walkie talkies to find each other at the pool. I do not agree those intellectuals who criticize our generations addiction and dependence on cell phones. Instead, I would argue that we are evolutionary predisposed to utilize the modern technology of mobile phones in all necessary facets of our lives. So quit your criticisms, it's survival of the fittest, and so far it's looking like cell phones beat out telepathy.
