New Yorkers who just say "no" to cellphones

New York City residents who choose not to use a cellphone, like 40 year old Matthew Stillman, author of "Genesis Deflowered," share their beliefs on cell phone use.

"Constant connectivity exhausts people. It exhausts me and degrades the nervous system." Stillman states. He also went on to say how communication through screens and monitors "degrades the sincerity" with which he interacts with people and how he wants to give them his very best.

He is not alone. 36 year old professional musician, Natalia Peruz, from Astoria, Queens, relies on communication by e-mail, even though it makes her job more difficult. In times of an emergency, she looks for ...a pay phone. When asked on how people she deals with view her choice not to have a cell phone, she said "They think it's some kind of accomplishment to be without one."
