When I was their age at least 60% of the kids didn't even have a cellphone. And when they did they were track phones and the only thing you could do on them was call or mess with your ring tone. And that was only 4 years ago mind you.
Anyways, I agree with Muffy. The problem with my area is that it's mountainous so you don't get service anywhere anyways...and that is a BIG problem if there is an emergency. Like, just a few weeks ago my friend got in a car accident and she was really freaked out because he cellphone had no service and who knows what would have happened to her if someone hadn't stoped by to help. Or last summer when a guy everyone knows and loves around here had a heart attack and nobody had any service and he could have died if a bus driver wasn't there to take him "back to civilization" to get an ambulance.
