write an essay with about 350 words (cell phone is my best friend)
Answers
Living two days without a cell phone is like surviving unarmed in a combat zone. It not only helps us to stay connected but is a key to entertainment, networking, navigation, schedules and so on. Yes, we are over-dependent on it. The cell phone may have affected our social skills, but it is indispensable. Love it or hate it, we just can't ignore it.

Send that magnetic storm
If a magnetic storm cuts off electronic connections I'll be able to do justice to a pending to-do list—detached from obtrusive screens and taking a break from online social platforms. I'll read all those books that have piled up, get some cooking lessons, play board games (such as Monopoly and Scrabble). Play football and tennis with "real" friends in the neighbourhood. I will also be able to spend quality time with my family. Above all, this will give me an opportunity to tend the plants in my terrace garden. Life would be much more peaceful, happier, uncomplicated, exciting and meaningful without network devices. I will get back control of my life — in fact, I am looking forward to such a magnetic storm and wish it occurred once every three months.

We will survive
The cell phone is my dearest friend and without it our lives will be dark as hell and survival simply impossible. How will I stay connected in a world devoid of Facebook, Twitter,Whatsapp and Hike? It's true we have become dependent on these pocket-sized miracles and will turn nearly mad, but I am sure in a crisis we'll learn to live without it. Just like flood-affected people are surviving right now in Kashmir, or the way people in Uttarakhand survived

Everything will collapse
Without the cell phone or telecom the entire communication system will turn topsy turvy. Medical systems, disaster relief, finance, education and so on will collapse. We cannot even live for a couple of days without telecommunications.
