Aren't cellphones the worst invention ever?

No, there have been way worse inventions.

No way. I think they are amazing. Long-distance phone bills are a thing of the past. BS artists are a thing of the past since cell phones allow for instant fact checks. Cell phones can be used to watch movies, play video games and listen to music. I also like using the GPS features to navigate. I used to have to print out mapquest when I was driving somewhere new. Most importantly, I can use the Shazam app to identify songs that I hear anywhere.

My only concern is the RF radiation emitted by cell phones. How harmful is it? I use a hand-held receiver to avoid putting the phone up against my head but I'm not sure if that is still enough distance.

I like my phone very much, but I don't use it in theaters and certainly NEVER while driving

It's really awesome to have an answer at hand for when The Beatles put out the Revolver album or the name of 'that guy' in a movie you recognize from 100 other movies and TV shows

I use my phone all day long for answers to questions I ask myself😁

You can't blame a tool for its misuse. Is a spanner a bad invention if someone hurls one through your window? No. The spanner is blameless.

Easy Cheese is the worst invention, as it was made for nefarious use in the first place. No good could ever come from Easy Cheese.

they're great. i was a late adopter, but i absolutely love mine and wouldn't want to go back to being without them.

using them in a theatre is tacky and anyone who does that absolutely reeks of jerkiness, imo. that's on the person, not the great innovation.

No, cell phones are a great invention.

Putting the internet and games on cell phones was a bad idea, though. But having a portable telephone makes life safer, as you can call for help in all sorts of awkward positions now, and more fun, as absolutely nobody is stuck at home waiting for the phone to ring (unless you're paid to).

The worst invention ever is the business meeting. Every time I get stuck in one I dream of inventing a time machine and going back in time to find the person who invented them and kill them. On the other hand the best invention ever is the all you can eat buffet.
