Mobile Phones Vs Cell Phones

Teens are always on their phones. Whether it’s at the store, school, or even driving. Teenagers are losing communication skills, getting into fights more, and getting distracted in school. These are the effects of teens getting on their phone way too much.

Cell phones are distracting in school and disrupt learning. Students should always be giving their teacher their undivided attention. Cell phones in school create problems and they affect students’ grades. Although some may claim these reasons to be true, they are undeniably wrong. The proponents of cell phones should not be allowed in school argue, “We know for a fact that the use of cell phones on school property around the country has led to a number of problems around safety.” This is wrong because cell phone use on school grounds is only beneficial to individuals on and off school property. Cell phones do not necessarily prevent problems, but they do help in times of emergencies. They promote safety in situations such as school shootings or hostage situations. The proponents of cell phones should not be allowed in school also argue “Student’s whose minds wander during a lecture or discussion may find the temptation of texting instead of listening hard to resist.” While this is true, it is up to the student to pay attention. However, texting instead of listening is the same as doodling and not listening, or playing on a school issued laptop even after being told to put it away. It is up to the student to restrain from texting in class. The more schools put an emphasis on no phones in school the more

There is an ongoing curiosity about why electronic devices are so irresistible. It is flabbergasting and utterly disappointing that people of all ages, including hypocritical parents lecturing teens about their texting addiction, “would prefer to communicate over text rather than meeting face to face”(mobile commons). Although technology has its benefits of quick communication and always staying in touch with others, the amount of common sense lost to technology has a stronger and more detrimental effect on one 's future. As people become more dependent on the technology that sits in the palms of their hands, the social skills one

    Sherry Turkle, a professor and director of the MIT Initiative on Technology and Self, wrote an essay called “No Need To Call” to talk about her research on cell phones and social life. She goes in depth into a few lives of those who use their cell phones frequently and those who avoid it. Turkle starts off her essay by talking about Elaine, a seventeen year old. Elaine acknowledges the use of texting within her generation, she states “It’s only on the screen that shy people open up.” (373). Elaine then follows this by speaking of the ability to pause and think before you send a message. You have more time to think before you say something, unlike in person or on the phone. Turkle then reflects on this teen’s analysis, she says, “Elaine is right in her analysis: teenagers flee the telephone. Perhaps more surprisingly, so do adults.” (374).

In the article, “Lift the Cellphone Ban”, by David Rapp, teachers and other staff members are not familiar with using cell phones. Students are using them in classrooms to text, post pictures, and videotape teachers. A lot of teenagers who are on their phones start to lack respect for other people who are talking to them. I believe that cell phones are having an impact on a person’s social skills. Teenagers today are on social media websites such as Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, Instagram, and others.

Teenagers must consider the importance of being concentrated when studying. Otherwise, we won’t be able to learn in a good way. Things are done in a better way if we do them each at a time. Most of the effects of cellphone messaging on teenagers may be negative due to the fact that they’re used just to chat and gossip and not for important stuff, as used by adults. When a teacher is giving a new class, we may be distracted by a text massage. If we don’t pay attention, more probably, we’ll get a low grade on the next quiz. But that does not only represents a bad grade, but an emptiness in the student’s memory because he might have lost or misunderstood a concept that may be important to comprehend further theories or themes. Text messaging may also become a vice, and anyone could even become an addict. Some teenagers

Everyday you see how much cell phones has impacted the way people spend their free time. Ever since technology became a big hit among teenagers is has caused less communication among one another. It's to the point where people feel lost without their phones!

Whether you’re getting directions, calling a loved one to let them know you’re running a little late, or checking Facebook to catch up with an old high school friend, cell phones have began to dominate our technology based society due to their easy accessibility and endless uses. While “nine-in-ten Americans own a cell phone and nearly two-thirds own a smartphone,” the cell phone is has become one of the only things the vast majority of people deem necessary in their life (Rainie et al., 2015). “Ch 1: Always on Connectivity,” written by by Lee Rainie and Kathryn Zickuhr, explains how dependent adults really have become of our cell phones. “8 Fascinating Facts About How Teens Use The Internet And Social Media” elaborates

Teenagers who use their cellphones very often will have their academic progress negatively affected due to being distracted. It is not a rare occurrence for teenagers to have their phones with them while they are in class, but that is mainly because many of them do not realize the impact it is having on their grades. Researchers, Christian M. End, Shaye Worthman, Mary Bridget Matthews, and Katharina Wetterau at Xavier University did a study about the impact of

According to the Pew Research Center, 72% of teenagers text regularly, and one in three sends more than 100 texts per day. Texting has become the fastest way to communicate with someone. When my parents were my age, they didn’t have the technology like we do nowadays. They never had the convenience of contacting someone by a quick little text. Technology has

One problem with cell phones in today’s society is that they have become major distractions. Cell phones are distracting employees in the workplace and are leaving them with their jobs halfway done. Everywhere in the business industries, the employees are hard at work re-tweeting and catching up on the latest newsfeed rather than managing their time more wisely. Not only are cell phones a distraction in the workplace, they are also a distraction and disruptive in school districts, causing students’ attention to be elsewhere. Many students would rather text in the middle of class instead of pay attention to what the teacher is reviewing. In this case, students do not gain the amount of education provided for them. In addition to cell phones being distracting, people often like to multi-task by walking or driving while texting. These things cause them to be unaware of their surroundings. Texting while driving has become a major issue because texting and driving can lead to car crashes which are often fatal. On the other hand, texting and walking isn’t too bad, but can cause a little bit of embarrassment. There are stories of people walking into walls and bumping into people or tripping over a table because their nose seems to be stuck in their phone. To some, being on their cell phone is more important than grades, clients, and others around them.

Strahan also said, “this leads to not getting good grades which then leads too colleges not excepting them because of their grades.” The final impact that also implies to the chain of events that happen when relying on your cell phone too much is, cell phones decrease the knowledge of knowing how to have a conversation with someone face to face. Knowing how to maintain yourself and knowing how to speak to someone face to face is very important and helpful when looking to get a good high-paying job in the future or even looking at colleges, without these vital skills it’s hard to even make it through the interview. “When you become an adult you will have a harder time asking for help, being proactive with things in your life” said reading specialist Mrs. Tracey Cassidy. In the end, cell phones have a great impact on the social life of young adults, all the texting and cell phone usage really affects the life of young adults whether it grades, face-to-face communication or just relationship problems with friends. So instead of overusing this device and relying on it or communication, everyone should go back and meet and communicate to people the old

“Concerns about cell phones in the classrooms are also grounded in what we know about teenage brains, including the inability to concentrate while multi tasking and possibly long term effects on overall health” (12)

The article presents the problem with communication with lots of research that has been done in past years. The research data presented was mostly accurate throughout the essay. Another article written by Angle, Moscaritolo state that, “teens sends and receive 60 texts message a day, up from 50 in 2009…” so as the years go by there has been an increase in the use of smartphones. We can be in a family meeting, but more often will find out that teens prefer to “talk” to you by text than having face-to-face

In school majority of the students use their cell phones in class and they don’t pay attention to the subject their working.Many fail classes because students are too busy texting or on facebook. It’s really sad how technology can change studying and how grades go down. Students in Middle School use cell phones very often that they don't even pay attention to their teachers lecturing. Students even make new friends by facebook that they forget their real friends. Students think texting is something important to do but really it seems just a waste of time.Students should spend more time in paying attention in school of being texting or on facebook.Parents should not be buying their kids cell phones because its bad for their studying.They should have phones till they are in high school not middle school because they don't know how to handle it and in high
