Cell phones

Many people disagree about whether cell phones have a positive or negative influence on people. I think they have had both. Cell phones can get in the way of some things, but they have also helped in certain areas.

They have helped families by making it easier for parents to talk to their children when they're not in the same area as them, and it's easier for children to talk to their parents. The use of cell phones have also helped younger people be more social because it is easier to talk to others more often.

Cell phones have negative influences, too. Although they have helped teens socially, they have also hurt them. The use of text messaging has caused some teens to not be capable of carrying on a normal converstaion with others since they only know how to say something to someone by typing it out. It also causes teens to say things they might not ever say to someone if they were standing right next to them. With school work, cell phones have oftened interfered. Many students are so addicted to texting they have to do it during school hours. This could cause them to learn less since they can't pay as much attention in class.
