In less than a minute you can know where someone is. With cell phones, you have a constant form of communication with your loved ones. You will never go a day without talking to someone because of cell phones. Amy Gahran believes cell phones are changing our lives. She feels that they are changing the lives of the media as well. With one click of a button you can take a picture or a video of an event. With a smartphone, you can immediately upload the picture or video and in seconds everyone is informed.
Cell phones are shaping our society by providing us with information readily. You will always be kept up on news with your phone and you can always message your friends and family. Cell phones are advancing our world.
What if our cell phones fail us? the network fails and everyone loses service? I agree that cell phones are convienent but some people become consumed. Without their trusty cell phone what will they do? I know I would feel so cut off without my phone and wouldnt know what to do since all my contacts are stored in it.
ReplyDeleteAlso I feel that some people are becoming more socially awkward in face - to face situation becuse they would rather call or text their friends. Text conversations are so much easier because sometimes you forget your talking to a real person. It's easier to say things you don't mean when they aren't standing directly in front of you. Not to mention that sarcasm is really hard to pick up on in texts. Technology is great but as it advances, we have to be careful; Once its out there, it stays out there.
