Using cell phones has innovated society so much in our time
and it is a great thing but can also be create negative outcomes. We can now
look up things in a split second and be able to talk to anyone around the world
by the push of a button. But we are also becoming very disconnected from the
real world.
We are able to talk to anyone and stay connected really
easily these days. Many people stay connected to long distance family and
friends. Some families are split apart because of military or work and they are
able to video chat and text now because of cell phones. If we didn’t have cell
phones, people would be completely cut off from their families. We are also
able make new friends and create new relationships through the use of a cell
phone and social media. So cell phones are a very positive innovation for many
people.
Cell phones can also be a very negative thing. Many teens
are becoming very disconnected from the world. They walk down the halls looking
down at their phones and not looking up talking to others. They avoid talking
to people around them by acting like they are texting or get on social media. Teens
are unable to create and maintain actual conversations in person now. They feel
too awkward and feel it is easier to just type whatever you want to say. This also
creates an easy window for cyber- bullies. People can hide behind screens and
say whatever they want to someone. They don’t have to face the reactions so it’s
easier. This creates conflicts for many
people. A lot of people have commit suicide because of cyber-bullying alone.
All in all, the use of cell phones can be very positive but
also very negative. It all depends on your perspective of it. Many teens would
believe cell phones are gifts from God. Others may believe they are a menace to
society and ruining the way people communicate. There are some who are neutral.
They like the use of cell phones but also see the negative effects. Now you can
decide. Vote in the poll to the side.
