Put your cell phone away!



                    Almost everyone has cell phones nowadays, and they make our lives easier, but there are some bad aspects of cell phones, too.  First, some people spend hours on their cell phones every day and waste time that they could be using to do other, more productive things. For example, some young people spend more than eight hours a day on their cell phones, texting and surfing the net, but don't have time to go to class or do homework.  Is all that time necessary? Think of all the other positive things they could do if they cut down the time they spend on their cell phones daily.  Second, cell phone can be very expensive. For example, an Iphone or  SmartPhone might cost you a few hundred dollars a month, depending on the company, your plan, and how you use it.  For people who don't earn a lot of money, that's a big part of their budget. That's a lot of money that they could use to do other things, like going out to eat or buying gas for your car.  Finally, cell phones can be bad for your health.  Many young people are developing problems with their thumbs from texting too much. And there is some medical research suggesting that cell phones may actually give off some transmissions that could be bad for your health or even cause cancer if you use cell phones over a long period of time. So you might not want to hold your cell phone in your hand all day or always put it in the same pocket.  If you text while you drive, you are more likely to have an accident, and that could definitely be bad for your health! In conclusion, there are obviously a lot of benefits to new technology and cell phones, but they can have some disadvantages, too, such as wasting time, costs, and possible health issues.

                   I only know one person who doesn't own a cell phone. He is a professor at Ivy Tech Community College, where I teach, and seems to do just fine. He borrows his wife's cell phone whenever he needs to use one. How did we all live 20 years ago without cell phones?

What do you think about cell phones?

  15. An important topic and debatable: in fact every tool we use in our lives is to be a double-edged .. if we used properly will have benefits but if we used excessively will be quite harmful, as well as most of the mobile phones used by young people in the Messenger and talk continuously, even in University, this so-called addiction! ,, I think the solution is to organize time and custom made time to talk with people and correspondence

  19. Cell phone is a great thing important to help people in many ways. Today with the science technology, the development of the information is about Internet, computer and cell phone. I think that cell phone is a working tool and not an intimate companion. It is good to use cell phone for the need, but not to use cell phone all time days and nights. Because the excess is harmful think.
