Calling is a good way to stay in touch with those around you. When you call someone you maintain contact through real words not abbreviations. Those who call spend less time annoying those around them when their phone keeps ringing and vibrating every five minutes.
Ludden uses a serious and factual tone towards her audience and reader’s to try and convince them on how to decrease the use of technology within teens. After reading the article, I have come to realize that teen only use their cell phones for the latest gossip going around or for social media, but sometimes there are ways teens find their cell phones to be useful in their lives. One reason is that teens find it easier to get their work done by using their cell phones to communicate with their friends to get what the missed out on.

Additionally, sometimes it could be a good thing to find out the rumors or gossip going around because it could be about them or one of their friends.
Mr. Magee, The question of whether cell phones should be allowed in schools has been debated over the years.

However, before texting was around, teenagers continually rang each other’s home lines, and parents frequently fumbled to take messages appropriately for their teenagers. In his essay “Handling Teen Calls”, Gary Lautens exposes the harsh realities associated with being a parent of a teenager in modern society through his recounts of fumbled attempts at taking phone messages for his son correctly.
Having to dial phone numbers and answering calls can really take your attention away from the road. It is hard to look at the dangers of using a cellular phone when there are so many good uses.

Technology is a really over-powering thing and a growing epidemic and I feel that it's really taking a tole on young people but at the same time advancing the communication between us.
