“Some people rely on their cell phones for everything” says Kaila Schlimm. You want to send an e-mail? You can use your phone. You want to call your friend by using camera? You can use your phone. Some people argue that the future will be better and some people argue that it is just a phone (Schlimm, 2010).
Nowadays, phones are a life source to some people. They reflect our cultural priority of communication. We always want to talk to our friends and families and with cell phones. We have the ability to communicate. As a sociologist, I see that the world become a smaller place. Technology develops day to day and people do everything with their phones. They have easy access to communicate. So, they do not want to meet people, they do not want to go anywhere. Everything is on their phones.
Cell phones also change society. According to Neil Roberts, people tend to have a love-hate relationship with their phones, loving the sense of freedom they give, or the technology itself, or the status they believe an expensive phone confers (Roberts, 2010). It shows that people actually do not know each other and their lifes are based on cell phones. They try to meet each other by using technology. According to researches, children do not want to go outside because of the cell phones. They use it while they are studying, eating, even using bathroom.
Moreover, cell phones affect people’s health. They have too much radiation and it is bad especially for people who are pregnant. It is unhealthy for babies as well. When mothers use cell phones, radiation affects babies and it makes babies growing slow. According to Kaila Schlimm “ not only does it cause problems on the roads, but also many other places including in schools and at home. Children are becoming distant from their parents because they are always on their phones focused on other less important things. Some admit to texting or playing games during family dinners, even church. Also, students are texting during school or using the phones camera ability to cheat. The phones camera also allows them to send pictures to one another which may be inappropriate and can get them in a lot of trouble. The phones internet capability allows Facebook addicts to go on anywhere, anytime. This can lead to other life problems in relationship, family matters, or in the workplace.” In conclusion, cell phones can be very negative at times and it can create problems between people. So, people should learn to use them only when its neccesary and do not let cell phones to destroy their relationships between their loved ones.
