Data from our Survey of User Needs so far indicates that people with disabilities, like most everyone else, rely on wireless products more than ever. This reliance has its advantages, but does it also pose problems? Features like speed dialing and stored phone numbers means we no longer have to remember phone numbers for important contacts. Do we sometimes depend too much on our mobile devices?




I do not have a cell phone as I don't drIve, but when I did I  was an early adopter of cell phone technology just for the security feelings it gave me, but as of yet I couldn't do without my landline, just due to my alarm system needing it.

Yes, we need the landline for our alarm system as well. Plus, we need it for our DSL.
