Cell Phone Society : Analysis

Once cell phones reached a height of internet capabilities, smartphones were created. Cell phones from then on ended up changing society entirely. This research study could explain the effects of cell phones from their creation to today’s society and how they would influence the future generations. This study would also focus on the evolution of how cell phones become even more involved in our lives and how they truly influence us. This study would be beneficial to our generation by teaching them how technology is expanding, and the lives of humans will get easier as time goes on. Furthermore, this study would be beneficial as a report on how cell phones came to be in our history. This would expectedly heighten the awareness of society to how different our lives could be according to technological development. To the future researchers, this study could be used as a base for data in future development into how society adapts.

As much as I regret to admit it, I’m attached to my phone. I’m constantly reaching into my pocket to check the time, make sure I haven’t gotten a new update, or to send a message. I do this even when I’m not talking to anyone! It’s become an addiction, having to make sure I’m not missing anything, and I'm not the only one who has this problem. Seventy-five percent of the world population has a cell phone, and that number will only increase. With the creation of new technology portions of life have become easier. Technology has changed the way we go through life. It’s made talking to people easier, as well as keeping up with the lives of others. However, the effects have affected the aspects of our lives that don’t include technology.

In the article "Our Cell Phones, Ourselves," by Christine Rosen, she explains the dependency on cell phone use while highlighting unforeseen consequences that may occur with cellular device use. From allowing parents to track down their children, to having a casual conversation with a friend, cell phones offer people an unparalleled level of convenience. Furthermore, cell phone owners feel much safer knowing that in an emergency, help is just a phone call away. This convenience, however, does not come without any negative effects. Many cell phone owners become too engrossed in their phones and therefore ignore the physical world, an idea that Rosen refers to as "absent presence.” Also, people may use their phones as a way to prove they are

Cell phones; also known as thing that the human race revolves around. But how can we blame ourselves? You can do almost anything on your phone, right there in your hand. Most of us wouldn’t last a day without being able to check Instagram or text our friends. You can communicate with anyone anywhere. It’s hard to think about where we would be without them. Most likely, nowhere near where we are today.

After graduating high school mostly everyone has both high hopes and dreams, people whom have high hopes for the career life ahead of them seem to run into manys different obstacles along the way. After graduating high school I finally came to a conclusion of what I wanted to do with my life.

Today we have to take our phones out and text someone. But if you think about it 100 years ago they had paper and ink. That method of communication was so much more complicated than today. We are advancing and our texting methods could eventually turn into what the people in feed have to

The Social Construction of Technology (or SCOT) is a new research tradition rooted in the sociology of technology. SCOT provides a multi-directional model based on the property of interpretative flexibility, and emphasizes on social influences on the technology design and development. This paper will apply SCOT principles to explore the development of cell phone, define the development of cell phone into three different stages historically, and analyze the interpretative flexibility of the cell phone accordingly in the three different stages. Based on SCOT theory, this paper will discuss how the original huge cell phones are shaped and developed by social influences to the smartphones in today’s life.

Cell phones are affecting the lives of people in a negative way. People have begun to rely solely on the technology that has been created rather than picking up a book or finding answers the old-fashioned way. A major issue that has occurred because of cell phones is the lack of social skills in most nearly all individuals. Cell phones have greatly shaped society and destroyed face to face social skills. People pick up their phones and send a text rather than going to speak to a person. “According to an article in the Huffington Post, children do not know how to handle face-to-face conflict because so much of their interactions occur through some sort of technology…. Cell phones are now preventing these social skills from being taught because children are too caught up in technology than the real world.”(Hyman) When growing up, most children are taught how to make friends, but now children are growing up with the access to technology which has a great impact in shaping the social skills of children. “Young adults also use text messaging as their primary method of contacting friends – over 80 percent report texting as their preferred method.”(Voegeli). Young adults and even older adults have developed an addiction to their cell phone. Cell phones do make it easier to contact people, but they make social skills in individuals dissipate. People are attached to their phones like it is a part of their body. Technology like the cell phone has taken a toll on everyday life events. People cannot even sit in a room with their family without being on their phones. In most cases, they would rather text one another instead of having a conversation. Society needs to

The first seven hours were challenging, being disconnected from my virtual communications made me become aware of my unknown behaviors tied to my phone. For example, when I felt bored or get disconnected from a conversation I would grab my phone with the intentions of surfing the web or visiting my social media platforms. Secondly, at home, I would hear my phone ringing or vibrating and would rush to check it but of course, it was off. This taught me how daunting it is to contact or meet someone without a text and the overwhelming feeling of being unsure if they will find you at your meeting destination.

How does it feel, When a person go out to a meeting, date, dinner, walking or whatever kind of activity these days without a phone? It’s almost impossible for most of the people to go out with no phone or any kind of technology. So, sometimes people just stop their social and active life and start to behave as a person who has some sort of a drug addiction. Have people considered about the changes of their life since technology starts to take a place in their life? People should have the knowledge of the negative change that technology does to them. Like, the big change in their social life, people these days don’t interact with each other like before, even the way they behave and think has changed, and technology is taking away their active

Thesis: The usage of cell phones in modern day society has caused quite the problem for citizens in this generation by being a major distraction, causing addictions, and has sadly became the main resource of communication.

Ever since I gained the mentality of how a cell phone works, I am incapable of leaving the device anywhere. It has to be on me 24/7. I feel that if I never had this device, I would’ve hung out with my friends a lot more than usual and I would’ve communicated with my family a lot more than usual as well. Also, knowing what is going on in the area around me has helped to either take caution or to help. For example, I knew about the clown case because I read about it online on my phone, so I knew to be careful when walking the streets. I knew about the Black Lives Matter protest in Atlanta and read about what was going on and that situation called for help. The media just helps keep me up to date with what is going on in the society I am currently living

Have you ever wondered what would the world resemble in the event that we didn 't have any cell phones? Why is it that we get out of our comfort zone when we do not have access to our phones? Nowadays, cell phones have such a noteworthy effect on our day to day lives, and we owe it to the advancement of technology. In this research paper, we will take a closer look at this phenomenon by examining the evolution of cell phone devices, and it’s effects on society.

My cell phone is my best friend, like a tiny mom reminding me and organizing everything for me. I have my whole life on this phone, which is good in a way but also very bad. Losing this phone unfortunately would mean losing every single phone number of everyone I know. Literally without my phone to most everyone I know It would be like I didn’t even exist. My overrated house phone has been oddly tossed away in my closet and my iPhone is now my new best friend. Without it I wouldn’t be able to contact my family and friends, see how they are doing, hear their voices from a far. I wouldn’t be able to text my friend and tell her I’m seriously only 10 minutes away when really I’m about 30 minutes. It’s great to get in contact with people you can't see every day but there is also a down side to this. Don’t get my wrong i love people checking in on me seeing if I’m okay but it also annoys me when I’m in the middle of class and I can feel the buzzing of my phone, not being able to turn my phone volume on without someone blowing it up and either calling or texting every 5 seconds it is just annoying, it’s too much of a distraction.
