Cell Phone Towers Make Me Sick
Well, it didn’t take long to start writing again. I decided I just need to write…only I’m not going to write about the church for a while. So, here’s a little something about cell phone towers.
I am one of the first people to applaud all the amazing advances in technology. I love the fact that I’m sitting in my living room pirating some else’s wi-fi connection. I love the fact that I have a cell phone and can get in touch with just about anyone at any place and any time. I think the new iPhone’s are incredible. I believe all the digital photography and recording capabilities are going to open up so many new possibilities in the arts.
However, I’m also deeply bothered by some of the destruction to our environment that has taken place in order for me to have one more bar light up on my cell phone.
As my family drove to and from Florida, I was deeply troubled by the number of cell phone towers I saw throughout the country. Driving through the Smokies, I was awed by the breath-taking views. Then, on top of the mountains, I’d see a cell phone tower and a path of trees that had been cut down in order to place the tower on top of the mountain.
It just destroys the beauty of creation…all to provide me better cell phone service…And, I didn’t even use my cell phone on vacation. Sometimes progress just isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
