I have begun developing a dependency on the cell phone, allowing it to organize my day-to-day life, allowing it to become my distraction, and allowing it to become my memory for the remaining days of my life. Because of cell phone use, I no longer wish to communicate to anybody face-to-face on a daily basis, I cannot memorize any one person's number (including my own), and it disrupts my daily life.

Laws on traffic safety vary from state to state, and drivers distracted by cell phones can get off with light punishment even when they cause fatal accidents. Running red lights, failing to stop for a school bus and drunk driving are just a few examples. An increasing number of studies show that driving while talking on a cellphone can be dangerously distracting.

Playing Flappy Bird during homework time is one of them. Some of the other negative effects of the smartphone are growing addictions to technology, altered sleeping patterns, decreased family communication, loss of productive time, and sometimes death.

Leeban Ali March 28, 2012 As a student who attends high school I believe that cell phones should not be allowed during school hours! Also most of the students have it out and texting during class.

Just like adults like speaking to each other in their native languages, teenagers use slang as if it were another language because it is what they are more comfortable using. If we all sounded the same, and spoke the same language, we wouldn’t be unique. We would all be the same.
