You never owned a mobile phone ??

Never.

I avoided them early on (when they were brick-sized) because I valued my personal space and I wanted to wait to see if there were any negative radiation issues.

Then I didn't trust my employer wouldn't abuse a mobile and call me 24/7 (day and night and weekends) to fix his mismanagement problems.

Mobiles started becoming ((( surveillance devices ))) around that time and I wanted no part of that.

I'm a contractor and I have no need to apply for jobs normally with resumes, so that helps a lot.

I've also worked in industries where mobile phones are not allowed in the workplace for security reasons, which made things slightly easier.

I am heavily conflicted because I would love to carry a mobile in case of emergencies (if my car breaks down or if my wife or kids need something), but I refused to be part of ((( the problem ))).

Thats crazy man, good for you for doing that.

I mean, why not have one you keep off in a Faraday pouch, that you pull out for emergencies? It's better than dying or something because you can't call for help in a bad situation.
