Cell Phones

Cell phones and other multimedia devices are absorbing the brains of our current generation. Parents ignore their children and children ignore their parents whenever cell phones are present. They are a hindrance in the development of personal relationships. Cell phones, despite their convenience, are a negative contribution to society over all.
It is a common occurrence to find an adolescent’s face buried in his or her media device. Constantly they are texting, talking, navigating the internet, or various other activities found in that specific cell phone’s programming. They are slowly losing their ability to communicate with the breathing world. It isn’t only the teenagers who are completely mindless with a cell phone in hand. Adults are ignoring their families when they pick up a cell phone. Whether it is used for business or gaming, a cell phone is one of the most distracting tools known to man.
Because no one has time for anything but their cell phones anymore, personal relationships are harder to come by. We are teaching the younger children that you cannot exist without a phone in your hand. Our world is be downgraded as our phones are continually upgraded.
A cell phone may be more convenient than a radio or other slower ways of communication, but they are slowly replacing real communication. When the only way we let our authorities know we aren’t going to be around is by text message, something must be horribly wrong. Cell phones have their place, and it is not in front of our noses at all times.
