Can't live with em', can't live without em'...

Ever leave the house and feel like you left a part of you at home? Most of us rely heavily on that tiny device, better known as-the cellphone. Most people claim that they couldn't live without their cellphones because they are what connects them from they world. But is this breakthrough technology keeping us connected? or further disconnecting us. 
Many maintain that without their cellphones they would not be able to communicate with distant family and friends, and people would not be able to contact them easily. The argument at hand is, without cellphones society would be less likely to move far from family and friends. As well, they would likely visit face-to-face when they need to communicate with another. So essentially cellphones are eliminating face-to-face interaction, and allowing people to migrate far from their family and friends due to the -only a phone call away mentality. These days we rely on cellphones to check our e-mails, surf the web, provide gps, and located the nearest Tim hortons-without having to communicate with one human being. So are these tiny little mobile devices linking together society, or rather further disengaging citizens within society.
