What would you do if you had to part with your cell phone — even for just a few weeks?
A New York-based comedienne and self-proclaimed “first advocate for moderation in cell phone use” has made this choice willingly, giving up her cell phone for 60 days — a New Year’s resolution.
Amy Borkowsky stopped using her cell phone cold turkey at the stroke of midnight New Year’s Eve. According to her Web site, reasons for the mobile fast range from the immediate and social — such as talking on her phone while out to dinner with a friend — to the societal. Borkowsky cites recent studies linking cell phone use to cancer, memory impairment and hearing loss.
She’s also allotted herself an emergency roll of quarters for making phone calls from pay phones.
So anybody else out there want to follow Amy’s lead? What would you do without your cell phone?
