Question

The idea of not having a phone at all could be beneficial sounds crazy to people who are addicted to the global Internet or even just Facebook．

Indeed，it sounds like a pain．But some advantages of a phone-free lifestyle make us realize that freedom has long been absent from our lives with a phone．

According to The Wall Street Journal's Anton Troianovski，people expect less of you when you don't have a cell phone．

Melissa Hildebrand，for example，doesn't own a cell phone．She just leaves if her friends don't show up on time for an event or meeting．“She gives them 15 to 30 minutes to show up．”writes Troianovski．

With a phone in hand，one receives apology calls，which only lengthen the waiting．Without a phone，that responsibility seems to reduce．

Dean Obeidallah of CNN believes that not having a cell phone gives him the ability to see things：A beautiful woman hurrying past while fixing her makeup；Asian tourists busy taking photos；a businessman talking on his phone and looking important．“Instead of texting or checking my e-mail．I began to actually look at the people I was sharing the streets with．It truly resembles a movie set filled with extras(临时演员)from all walks of life，”Obeidallah said．

Along with these small benefits of not having a phone，however，come all its inconveniences．

Nancy Kadlick told The Wall Street Journal that she once missed an airport pick-up due to not having a phone．

For Rebecca Greenfield，an editor for The Atlantic Wire，the inconveniences of not having a phone ontweigh these small advantages．But she also said：“Not having one every once in a while sounds like a nice practice．”
