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.”
