    The purpose of these essays is to inform people about the dangers of cell phone use. Not that the cell phones are physical dangerous, but a warning of the effects on human behavior. As I began reading the essays “Our Cell Phones, Our Selves, by Christine Rosen and Disconnected Urbanism by Paul Golderger, I knew which direction the authors were heading. Within the first few sentences Christen Rosen, talks about how the cell phone is changing our behavior and how we are becoming disconnected with society. The authors achieved their goal by staying on the topic from start to finish describing how it is destroying interpersonal communication and the way it is eroding our society.…

    Texting while driving

    The growing number of technology today is such a big part in people’s lives. Everyday, technology is coming forth with newer and bigger ideas. The people in modern day can’t live without the things like cell phones and tablets, things they used to be able to live without. Cellphones are a number one contestant for the average person’s everyday needs. Catching up on the latest social networking, e-mailing, or returning a message to a friend is part of everyone’s daily routine. These are all part of the world’s daily rituals. With these on a person’s mind all day long, people tend to look more into what’s going on with their phones rather than what’s on the road ahead of them. People, of all kinds, are to blame for careless driving due to one being too self-absorbed with their cellphone. Brian Penning’s of professional Safety goes into details over what distractive driving really is. He says, “Distracted driving is a factor in 90% of collisions says penning’s and most of those involve a cellphone.” (p.16) “Texting is twice as dangerous as talking on the phone or to passengers while driving.” (Penning’s p.16)…

    The digital divide is beginning to close. The flow of digital information – through mobile phones, text messaging, and the Internet – is now reaching the world’s masses, even in the poorest countries, bringing with it a revolution in economics, politics, and society. In my opinion, the technological innovation that has had the greatest impact on our lives in this country today would be the mobile telecommunication technology. For the last ten to fifteen years, mobile phones have changed our lives in such a way that no other technological change has before. Earlier, people used to book telephone calls in advance, had to go and use near the telephone booths, or sit beside a physical telephone instrument kept in the drawing room of a house, and attend to, or make calls stuck to a place. Now, people simply carry a 200 gram device in their pockets and can travel the world, always connected to their loved ones and business partners, no matter in whatever remote part of the world they are.

    It’s cited as the number one reason for motor vehicle accidents. While distracted driving is defined as “any activity that diverts attention from driving,” the rising cause of distracted driving related accidents has become using cellular devices while behind the wheel. 64% of all road accidents in the United States have been caused by cell phones. Like my friends, approximately 660,000 drivers are using cell phones while driving daily. Yet despite these mass amount of crashes the occur every year, as of March 2016, on 14 US states and districts had banned handheld cell phone use while driving, while only four states have all-driver texting bans.…

    The controversy over parental control versus a child’s freedom has now become an even more complex issue with the introduction of cell phones in the equation (Ling 119). While some believe that texting negatively effects their children because parents may not pay enough attention to their children or that texting doesn’t give children the social skills they need, on the other hand I will argue that texting gives children autonomy while giving them the ability to stay in close contact with their family and keep intimacy, if done in balance.…

    In recent studies, driving on your cell phone has caused many fatal and crucial car accidents. According to statistics, nearly 330,000 injuries occur each year from accidents caused by texting or being on the phone while driving. This is absurd. This should not be happening in today’s world but sadly it is. “One out of every four car accidents in the United States are caused by texting and driving.” (https://www.edgarsnyder.com/car-accident/cause-of-accident/cell-phone/cell-phone-statistics.html) If you think this is insane, another statistic from the National Safety Council reports that cell phone use while driving leads to 1.6 million crashes each year. Although as scary as this fact is, eleven teens die every single day from the use of cell phones while driving. According to an AAA poll, 94% of teen drivers acknowledge the dangers of texting and driving, which is a positive fact, but 35% admitted to doing it anyway. We’re talking heavily about teenage drivers here because they’re 4x more likely than adults to get into a car accident or get close to one while texting or talking on the phone. An even scarier fact from (https://www.edgarsnyder.com/car-accident/cause-of-accident/cell-phone/cell-phone-statistics.html) states that “A teen driver with only one additional passenger doubles the risk of getting into a fatal car accident. With two or more passengers they are 5x as likely.”…

    Psychologists from the University of Utah have published a study showing that drivers who just operate a cell phone are as impaired as drunken drivers. Drunken drivers really aren’t as accident-prone as cell phone drivers, there are just more drivers talking on the phone rather than drinking alcohol. Cell phone use is far from the only distraction for motorists. The researchers cite talking to passengers, eating, drinking, lighting cigarettes, applying makeup and listening to the radio as the “old standards” of driver distraction. I don’t think we shouldn’t use cell phones, I just think that it’s important for people to know how much damage it’s causing.…

    Cell Phones

    Cell phones have changed the way people socially interact with each other. Nowadays, anyone anywhere can just pick up their cell phone and call each other at any time of the day or night. (Stewart 1). In the past when there were just house phones around, people could use the excuse “Sorry I wasn’t home to answer your call” but now, with the emerging of cell phones, people will get a hold of you somehow. Cell phones are considered to be your own personal property while house phones are considered to be used for the family. Cell phones depend on satellite and signal, which means anyone, can take their cell phones anywhere they choose, while house phones depend on the wires in the house which limits anyone from using it outside of the house. (Stewart 1). For example, someone could be on their house phone and their little brother could be eavesdropping on the conversation. No one would want that, would they? On the other hand, cell phones are more personal and most of them have Wi-Fi which leads them to be connected to the internet. Now people are more socially involved on the web through Facebook, Twitter, Instant Messaging, etc. However, cell phones have both a positive and negative effect on people.…

    Are Cell Phones Dangerous

    Cell Phones are negatively impacting School Life. Between Two-forty pm. is probably the most anticipated time of the day for students during the school year. As soon as the final bell rings, students immediately reach into their pockets, backpacks, or purses and pull out their cell phones. One day, while leaving school, I witnessed a student furiously texting as she walked down the hallway, unaware of the door opening towards her. The door then slammed into her and knocked her off her feet, all because she was paying attention to her cell phone and not to where she was going. Business people have also relied on cell phones for the development and success of their business ventures. Although individuals are relying more heavily on mobile communications, the use of these devices needs to be balanced with an understanding of the risks involved in their use.…
