Cell phones that have limited coverage areas aren't dependable. As long as your using your phone in a large city that has plenty of cell phone towers it should work correctly. However, this isn't always the case, there are plenty of ways the radio signals can be disturbed or blocked, especially if you are too far away from a tower. So, one of the cons of using a cell phone instead of a landline is, they are less dependable. A huge perk of having a landline phones is that it works everywhere, but cell phones don’t always work whether it be because of coverage issues or other problems.

Dear City Councilmen, Cell phones have changed our world in so many ways; some positive and some negative. In my opinion cell phones have changed the world for the better in technical matters. Without cell phones our world would not be where it is now-a-days and as advanced as it needs to be without them. As far as being a distraction, they have become very dangerous as well. People say for people walking and on the phone is even dangerous, but let alone people on the phone and driving.
These studies show how conversing uses different cognitive skills than other activities and takes up a human brain’s “bandwidth” (Novotney). She also makes another valid point that “Most people would not think of getting in a car with someone who has been drinking, but they do not have a problem getting in to a car with someone who is using their cell phone” (Novotney). The rising number of cell phone related auto accidents shows that this is a dangerous problem, yet many teens feel they can use their phones without it affecting their driving. Cell phone
Kitchener-Waterloo. A city with so many cell phones they will soon develop brains and rule the world. Other than our obvious overuse of our cellular devices, there is a lot wrong with K-W from a teenager’s point of view. Our transit system desperately needs improvement, there are few places to spend your time, while enjoying it, and we seriously lack any good entertainment. The life of a teenager is a boring one, and these problems only make our lives worse.
It was estimated that only 2% of drivers are able to successfully multitask while driving, which sheds light on how rare it is for a person to be able to drive well while being distracted by a cell phone.

Even though there is plenty of evidence of the dangers of cell phones, the habits of drivers are not changing. Many concerned persons think that more drastic measures should be taken to minimize driver distraction. This article is very useful in the way that it presents many cons to texting while driving.
Due to the expenses of food and school it is difficult for parents to pay for sports. Therefore I believe that there should be free activities and sports for child under the age of 14 as they cannot help with payment because they are too young to get a job. If the children are able to become fit and do classes on the sport that they choose, they will have a better chance of becoming what they want.

This leads to the lack of communication and if the nurse was paged the first time this probable would not have happened. I believe that the pager is a great device that has helped many people’s lives. The device is easy to use and has a long battery life. Battery life is not the thing that should be worried about but the short messages are. The short messages that the pager give sometimes does not give enough detail, but it usually will get the message across if it is an emergence or not.
It could be you or your loved one in that small fraction. Also just because someone’s life wasn’t taken from texting and driving doesn’t mean it hasn’t affected their life in some way or another. For example, most of these collisions that don’t end in death either in my brain injury, paralyzation and so on. Texting is one of the most dangerous things you can do on the road. I can almost guarantee you that without awareness of this issue these numbers will continue to rise.
