The cell phone has transformed public places into giant phone-a-thons in which callers exist within narcissistic cocoons of private conversations.

In science there is something known as a stem cell. A stem cell is an undifferentiated cell which has not yet decided whether it's gonna be a cell of your brain or a cell of your heart or of your finger nail.
