It's become such a "necessary" for the younger generation
A cell phone can be "necessary" for more than just the "younger" generation. For people with health issues emergencies don't wait until the time is convenient. Park rangers aren't always accessible and it can take time to get into interior locations. If you have ever traveled while a close relative is very ill, it is also important to stay in contact "just in case". And don't be so critical of the "younger generation". You would be amazed at how much they take in and understand regardless of having a cell phone on them.
