Cellphone

Cellphone

“Put that cell phone away!” I hear that phrase a lot in class. Cell phone is the main cause of distraction in class. During a lesson, students who use cell phone in class will get distracted and also they waste their time instead of understanding the lesson. I know it sound like old fashion, but it is a fact my friend. We love our phones; I spend hours everyday with my phone. These days life without cellphones is hard to imagine. Imagine there is car accident. You stock in the car, and you cant open the door. There are no one too help you. What you would do? Would you call 911?  This piece of technology makes life easier and safer. Base on my survey responses people use their phones several times the day for different purposes. We should accept that we need cellphones, but we have to be aware of disadvantages of it.

Cell phones are playing a huge role in destroying how people talk face-to-face, our relationships, and our social skills. Teens are the biggest user of cell phones, texting, and technology. According to Wikipedia, Ninety-one percent of Americans ages 18 and over own cell phone. Texting has taken over everyone’s communication process, and over the years our teenagers have become more and more addicted to the technology. It has got to a point that it has caused our teenagers to have severe depression and hard time communicating with their peers. I feel like we all need to bring down the percentage of using our modern technology and stop allowing the computers to decide for us when we have a built in computer in our body.

People put themselves in dangerous situation while we are having our phone and texting. The study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows “69% of drivers in the United States ages 18-64 had talked on their cell phone while driving within the 30 days before they were surveyed”. Researches show that drivers with lower age are more likely to text and drive. I know many people who involving accident while they were texting. I think that we can prevent these accidents if we put our phones away when we are driving.
