Well, considering that my income is derived from technology, the answer is no. At the risk of stating the obvious to those in the field and boring those not, cell phones, cable, and internet are all very closely related. A signal is a signal. And those signals keep food on my table and a roof over my head. So, yes, I support those industries. More, I want all of you to throw money at them too 
The internet is the largest store of information mankind has ever known. Why would you want to live without it? Cell phones provide the ability to get medical or police help from anywhere even when they aren't activated (at least in the states; not true in other countries). About the only one of the three I see that could be cut is cable, and even then that's not always the case, as cable might be your only viable broadband option.
I often hear people point out how they lived without these things for years. Man also did without the automobile, penicillin, air conditioning... Does that mean we should give up these "luxuries" as well?
