How have cell phones change us socially?
Cell phones have changed this society in ways you can’t believe. If you own a cell phone, you are one of the most fortunate people alive. It gives you the power to find all of the information you need at any time of the day. But, their are problems with the use of cellphones. Instead of being able to talk to someone one on one, you are sending a message from miles away telling someone to "come pick you up". When sending a message you can easily get confused with the attitude someone is presenting. It leads to drama, which will often cause a fight and nothing but trouble.
If you go out with someone these days they are on their phones 24/7. Their are some pros and cons about this, but mostly cons. It has changed some people to become "socially awkward" as some would say. Back when cell phones were not invented, the only way to communicate with someone is through a letter or talking to them in person. The pros in having a cell phone can make saving and spending money easier. You can purchase anything through an online source such as, shirts, pants, shoes, basketball, Ext. You can also deposit a check with just a click of a button.
Face to face communication by children or even young teens is being squashed out by social networking sites. Specialist have found that 37% of the social networking teens have sent more messages through Twitter and Facebook than having a direct conversation with a new friend or family member. Good communication skills is almost required in today's world, because when we are adults and applying for jobs, we wont have the proper communication and therefore no job!
According to Pew Research Center, “As technology continues to improve, the use of cell phones continues to change drastically. The increase over the last ten years has been incredible and the way we use our phones to stay connected and informed continues to change.” This statement is very true, the more people buy or use cell phones changes the way of life really. No more looking up a word in the dictionary or going to the library to find a book. Everything you need is just a click away.
Some people might find it hard to believe that there was once a time when cell phones weren’t around. Myself, i could not even imagine what it was like! Honestly, i am on my phone at least 50-75 times a day. I know that sounds like a lot but in reality its almost not enough. With what i do, i need it by my side all day. Its like a necessity, without your phone you are lost in today's generation. You might as well be secluded from society!
Even though a Cell phone is a great thing to society they can also be very addictive. Just like drugs or alcohol, if you use it once you are most likely to use it again. For instance, the nicotine in cigarettes have hooked people and made them believe, without that they wouldn't be able to survive. It goes the same for a phone, without the twitter or Instagram app i could almost guarantee people would lose interest.
Cell phones in schools have made a huge difference in many different ways. For example, if your math or English teacher didn't know the answer to a question or an equation, all they would have to do is look it up and boom the answer is there in a blink of an eye. But on the other hand kids in the classroom use it towards their advantage by messaging in class or looking up silly videos that don't relate to the topic at all. This is why school systems have banned phones in the classroom.
