The problem is Americans are bound to their phones. The cell phone companies are relying on us to talk and text all of the time. Americans are addicting to using their cell phones. Personally I think we rely so much on technology that when fails all of us are in for a huge wake up is call. Technology is a wonderful thing, we should just not
There would also be times where a friend I haven't talked to in months would call, and I didn't want to talk, so I would just block the line of communication by not answering my phone. I would tell myself that I would call my friend back later, but I end up not calling back at all. There are also times where my friend would leave me voicemails to call them
First, I’ll be talking about the traditional forms of communication and how they are slowly disappearing because of today’s new ways to communicate, then I will be talking about how the traditional forms of communication are better and how they should not be forgotten, and I’ll finish with the negative influence modern technology has on our lives, such as creating barriers between people. The emergence of modern mobile phones and computers has changed the way people communicate, a lot. In the past, people had no choice but to write letters to each other (landline phones did exist too, though), it was known as the traditional form of communication, and usually the delivery of letters took a dozens of days. Now, people can send a message or make a phone call at any time, anywhere, without any delay. In my opinion, soon this would result in the complete disappearance of the traditional skill of letter writing.
Everywhere you look you see children texting on their cell phones. Abbreviations and shorthand language are the ways the vast majority of teenagers communicate with family and friends. There are some who would say texting leads to a decline in language and grammar skills. Others believe texting can improve a child’s grammar, reading, and writing skills. Texting hinders students from learning proper writing skills, communication/ social skills and literacy.
As the digital age rolled in, new problems emerged in society and everyday life. A new phenomenon going around is that college students have become addicted to their cell phones. How alcoholics need a drink is similar to how cell phones addicts need to have their phone close by at all times. Virtually every moment of a college students’ life is spent typing a text message or checking for new voicemails. For college students, cell phones are part of their daily lives.
Cell Phone, Texting and Society Cell phone texting is dangerous and destructible to society. This is a sad but true fact, for the simple reasons of the distractions they cause. When a person has access to a cell phone and wants to say something to another person carrying a cell phone, they can just type on a keyboard and press a button. Due to the advancements in technology these days it is delivered to the person on the receiving end of the cell phone. Most would say that this a great convenient way to say whatever they need to say to someone, Although, I tend to disagree strongly about this.
Your blind spots increase more cause your brain is now focused on your phone call, you felt was important, text message, e-mail, or even tweets/Facebook you are engaged in; rather than the task at hand. Your performance level is now decreased, no matter how well you drive. Driving requires all attention on the road. Using a cell phone is a major distraction.

Jena Saucier 3/5/2013 Negatives of Love Online In today’s society, more people are choosing to find love over the internet, whether it be a dating website or Facebook. There are many negative consequences to looking for love online. Such as no visual communication, false identities and how much time it takes up from one’s personal life. One reason why people shouldn’t find love online is because you never really know is on the other side of the screen. There have been cases where teens meet people over the internet and have an online relationship, but when they end up meeting it isn’t exactly who they thought it would be.
Change is something many people fear, so technology, an ever changing part of our society, is often times looked upon with reserve. Some of the most popular pieces of technology in the world today are cell phones, and with their rising popularity comes much controversy. Cell phones are an extremely useful item to have at all times throughout the day whether it be for emergency reasons, all of the useful things a cell phone contains, or learning new things about technology to use later in life. Although allowing students to have cell phones in class can be a distraction, there are a lot of reasons of why they should be allowed.One very important example is if there is ever an emergency in your family or your classroom you can easily call whoever you need to. If something happened in class you could call 911 and may prevent further disaster.
But what if a piece of technology interferes or even reverses that early learning? While technology has its benefits, we see with cell phones, social media, and television many disturbing trends. Now that cell phones have started to become cheaper and easier to get, it seems like more and more children are getting cell phones. It used to seem as if it was a communication tool for adults, but as time went by we started to see a trend of cell phones being owned by younger and younger people. The bad thing about that is the fact that if teens and preteens start handling cell phones, which they already do, they begin to text more often.
