Nowadays, Mobile Technology Communication has become an essential and also is employed by teens. Thirty years before, it was used only by business, while at present it becomes a small little technology device, which has been accepted by all sections of human society. There are many reasons for its increasing attractiveness, such as its portability, and the rapidly offers on subscriptions…the society has fully integrated into the mobile technology. In order to understand the new mobile communication technology with teens, here are 3 significant issues to look at: how do teens adopt mobile technology, identity of Teens, and the texting among Teens.Thus, in my point of view, the introduction of traditional functions in mobile phone like talking and texting only as compared to the new-fashion functions of using mobile phones such as camera and message service means that mobile life will percolate in the society in the future. In these recent years, the terms of mobile generation have grown up. Research studies indicated that teens use mobile technology in many ways, which are totally different from adults, for that they tend to focus on the communicating parts rather than the researching information use (Ling, 1999). To add up, teenagers are using text as a general choice of communication. It is an increasing importance of mobile technology in teenagers’ life, most of the teenagers use their mobile phone all the time. Besides, they put it close to their bodies and check it
Since the technological phenomenon towards the end of the 20th century, text messaging has been widely used by cellphone users, specifically teenagers, in order to get their conversations across easier and quicker in a very convenient way. In the modern technology world, people have become so accustomed to the idea of
In the article, “Has the Smartphone Destroyed a Generation,” Jean M. Twenge uses rhetorical devices and appeals to build her credibility on how smartphones are destroying this generation's teenagers. The author presents several pieces of evidence to prove she’s correct, and shows how teenagers of this generation think and behave differently than their predecessors.
The article presents the problem with communication with lots of research that has been done in past years. The research data it was presented was mostly accurate through the essay. another article written by Moscaritolo, Angle says “teens sends and receives 60 texts massage a day, up for 50 in 2009…” as the years gone there has been an increase in uses of phones. We can get be in a family meeting but more often you will find out teens prefer to talk to you by text than having face
Smartphones are at the hands of over millions of people and many of them will never know life without smart phones. The article “Have smartphones destroyed a generation” by Jean M. Twenge is about “iGen” a generation which the author describes as “a generation shaped by the smartphone and by the concomitant rise of social media” (Twenge). Jean M. Twenge is a professor of psychology at San Diego State University and contributed in researching generational differences for 25 years. Twenge is claiming smartphones have completely uttered the lives of teenagers. Twenge argues in the article, “Have smartphones destroyed a generation” that teenagers in the generation “iGen” has been shifted for the worst. Teenagers today are less likely to be independent; for instance, teens are less likely to date or find employment. Furthermore, teenagers are more likely to face depression, along with suicide and cyberbullying. Finally, teens have fewer social interaction making them lonely and not spending time enough with family.
Kate Hafner’s article, “Texting May Be Taking a Toll” claims that texting is an issue to teenagers around the world. As an illustration, Hafner starts the article by identifying that teenagers send a drastic amount of texts in their everyday lives. according to the Nielsen Company, “American teenagers sent and received an average of 2,272 text messages per month in the fourth quarter of 2008”(1). This is just one of the examples of many that portrays teenagers around the world send many text messages. Along with teenagers sending many texts a day, hafner also shows in this article that texting is affecting teenager's life in many different ways for example, preventing teenagers' way of becoming independent. Just as professor Turkle presented,

People have cell phones everywhere, especially teenagers. Teenagers are glued to their cell phones; they need cell phones almost everywhere they go. Today teens are depending on their phones for everything. The number of cell phones users has increased and as of 2010, there were more than 303 million subscribers in the U.S., according to the cellular companies (Hanna). As a result of teenagers over using cell phones, teens are being impacted emotionally, socially, and physically.
Mobile phones are an entertainment source for many. As well as holding music files, as some phones today are able to do, it will work with a home entertainment system to find programmes of similar interest to files already on the phone and download them as a podcast. The Mobile Life Youth Report, one of the biggest ever social studies to examine how mobile phones have changed the way young people live, was published on 19 September 2008 by the London School of Economics and Political Science. The report discusses how the intimate relationship between user and phone is most pronounced among teenagers, who regard their mobiles as an expression of their identity. "Texting is often used for apologies, to excuse lateness or to communicate other things that make us uncomfortable," the report says. "It offers intimacy of a particularly controlled form, useful for its discretion ... but valued by those who find it difficult to express their emotions more discursively." (19 September, 2008). This is partly because mobiles, unlike landlines, are seen as being beyond the control of parents. But the researchers suggest that another reason may be that mobiles, especially text messaging, were seen as
Mobile phone is no longer a conventional tool for contacting people (Castells et al., 2007). It has transformed itself into a multimedia technology instrument to satisfy basic needs for the society. Nowadays, teenagers use lot of device and applications for convenience. The mobile phone has improved for better functions with powerful batteries and decorative designs. The design also changes to adapt to consumer’s need with new, lighter and portable design that proved attractive for consumers to use (reading 2). Based on reading 1, the Japanese terminology “keitai” also means that something you carry, indicates cell phone are everyday artifacts adjacent to the individual user’s body.
“According to a recent poll, 22% of teenagers log on to their favorite social media site more than 10 times a day, and more than half of adolescents log on to a social media site more than once a day.2 Seventy-five percent of teenagers now own cell phones, and 25% use them for social media, 54% use them for texting, and 24% use them for instant messaging.3 Thus, a large part of this generation’s social and emotional development is occurring while on the Internet and on cell phones.” (O'Keeffe, Gwenn Schurgin)
Using smart phone becomes a trend in the recent years. It is not an exaggeration but everybody in any corners of the world, any ages, even they are poor or rich, use smart phones. Thus, today life changes within smart phones. According to the article, there are positive and negative effects that we both have to consider. However, today's records show that there are more negative effects than positive effects to young people. Many young people claim that it is more comfortable when they are at home than going out. Moreover, it can be physically safer when teens are at home. If they just stay at home, there will be less car accidents and less teens drinking alcohol.
We are living in the 21St centuries, which the busy lifestyle so it is encouraged human have to reach the speed and apply the new technologies in their life and at work place. Therefore disruptive technologies have major affect on human life. Disruptive technology is the new technology that replaces the existing one. It’s designed to bring the success of similar technology. For instance, as the development of the Internet, most of people use it to send or receive email. Hence less and less people go to post office to send the letter. According to the McKinsey report, he has pointed out the 12 emerging technologies, which have a tremendous impact on people life, business as well as the global economy. The picture below will
At first, I was going to analyze and write about smartphones, however I found it more efficient to write also about a particular smartphone to narrow it down from such a broad technological artifact, such as answering who designed it, what for, what their position and the impact they want to have on society was, and their future visions. Therefore, I chose the iPhone as the centerpiece of smartphones I will be analyzing and an emphasis on applications. However, some of this information is relevant and interchangeable to all other smartphones. IPhones and smartphones allow us to access constant information and offer it the way we want it, as it is completely customizable now to fit our learning style. They keep us organized, send information to us in different ways, even shape and offer solutions such as for politics, economies, problems whether individual ones or globally. Smartphones capitalize on shared knowledge and has opened the door to inventors and those who have the knowledge to make our world a more connected place and lives easier by sharing it with us to use. We are able to communicate with other people far off, through space-time compression or shrinking-space to gather news and information.
