The cellphone addiction has become very common among many people especially the younger generations.

Throughout, my research I have discovered how a cellphone addiction negatively effects your physical, social, and mental health. Effectively demonstrating how dangerous a cellphone addiction can be to the individuals who suffer it.

Addiction is not the only downside of smartphones in today’s world. As society begins to spend more time in the digital world, they spend less time in face-to-face interactions. Three out of four people believe cell phone etiquette is becoming worse. It is not uncommon to notice many individuals on their phone while someone is trying to have a conversation with them. It is also becoming normal to see two people at a restaurant looking at their phones instead of interacting with each other. Phone usage is linked to higher levels of anxiety, depression and an overall lower satisfaction in life. Excessive phone usage may lead to impaired social skills and poorer relationships in the future.

Cameras, music, social networking apps and practically anything you can imagine have become accessible at anytime, anywhere. With one tap, you can update your status, send a tweet, and send a picture or text. It’s convenient that it is so easy to stay connected but it has become detrimental. In this paper, I will address four different research studies, relating to cell phone addiction, and excessive cell phone use. These studies will show

In the modern-day world, there are about 6.8 billion cell phone subscriptions. Mobile telephones have really changed the way we do things in our daily life. Before cell phones were invented individuals were more interactive with each other. In the late 1900’s, Martin Cooper invented the first mobile telephone. Today we have a variety of mobile phones to choose from such as Apple and Samsung. Widespread cell phone use has definitely affected the world negatively because it is a distraction, can be harmful, and addicting.

As the world grows larger, society is adding more technology. Cell phones have taken over the lives of many people. In most cases, people are either using their phones to pay bills, use social media, or to talk to someone in a quick way. Children have been impacted by cell phones along with adults. The users of cell phones have become blind to the negative effects that they have on a person’s health and attitude. The use of cell phones can greatly affect social skills, cause the development of hearing and eye problems, and cause an increase in stress levels.

Cell telephones with the Internet access and mixed media abilities, otherwise called "cell phones," have gotten to be universal. Around 168 million individuals in the United States own cell phones in 2014 and spend more than 30 hours every month utilizing a normal of 27 ("applications") on their cell phones (comScore.com, 2014; Nielsen.com, 2014b). Among the most much of the time utilized applications are the ones utilized for informal communication. An expanding measure of exploration has been led in the previous quite a long while to inspect the potential negative impacts of overwhelming cell phone use and simultaneous utilization of person to person communication applications on the intellectual, social, and psychological wellness of cell

Believing that addictions to cell phones are becoming increasingly realistic, he surveyed 164 college undergrads and discovered that “cell-phones [had] become inextricably woven into our daily lives — an almost invisible driver of modern life.” This information shows that as more and more people are becoming avid users of cell phones, the harder it is growing to put them down. In the future, researchers like Roberts are developing machines to see whether or not an “addiction” to cell phones is a diagnosable condition. Researchers in the U.K. studied 1,529 teenaged students and categorized around 153 as “problematic users" of cell phones. All of this leads to the ultimate conclusion, which is that cell phones can be an addiction. The author clearly proves her point by showing how research has backed up her opinion, and she believes that this sort of addiction can be diagnosable in the future

Over five billion people worldwide have cellphones. Alan Mozes article “Could too much cellphone time signal anxiety or depression?” discusses how cellphones are used as a sense of support and are linked with some people who suffer from depression and anxiety. Depression and anxiety are two very serious mental disorders that millions of people suffer from. Depression is more than just being sad. Depression is people who have a lack of attentiveness and desire in daily activities, have significant weight loss, insomnia or too much sleep, lack of energy, inability to focus, and have feelings of worthlessness.

Technology has advanced over the years, causing our lifestyle to change drastically and head down a new path. With these advances in technology, the cell phone appeared and has evolved throughout time. The cell phone has become a necessity to many. All ages use this mobile device for either personal or business use. Higgins states that the amount of cell phones active has increased from “one billion in 2000 to 6 billion.” Although cell phones play an important role in the lives of many, the negative possibilities could cause destruction to our society.

The cell phone has become a centerpiece of everyday life as cell phones are evolving and have been increasing their functionalities. Today, we use them today for many others reasons than what cell phones were originally designed to do. People are using them so often that they are becoming dependent on their phones that they have even become addicted to them. Those who are addicted to their cell phones struggle to stay away from them for a certain period of time and become so indulged in all of the unique things they can provide. With cell phone addiction comes many problems or issues that can occur in an individual’s life. Cell phone addiction has lead to differences in people mentally, physically, and behaviorally.

Although cell phones unify the online world, they cause teens to be distracted and unable to focus on what’s going on around them. Teens are attached to their phones, they never leave their sides and are constantly being checked for new notifications. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat keeps teens involved in the online world. Teens are interested in what’s going on around them and want to stay informed.

It is suggested that the overuse of technology result in negative impacts to mental health. According to Dr. Becker, "The highest cell phone usage occurs during the night which correlates with increased sleep deprivation" (Becker, 2015, slide 8). This is due to people staying up longer and later using a device, stressing over missed call or text, interrupting notifications like calls, texts, or alerts, backlighting, and so on (Becker, 2015, slide 8). People who use a cell phone at the most are reported a higher risk for mental health symptoms, such as insomnia, stress, and depression (Becker, 2015, slide 8). Some direct links of this causation are suggested to be

Cell phones have become an essential part of everyday life. Today, society cannot live without a cell phone. It is the first thing one sees in the morning and the last thing at night. Because of the increase in cellular phone usage, concerns have been raised about possible harmful outcomes. These alarms have prompted research and numerous studies. Through this paper, I will show that cell phones do indeed negatively affect people physically.

Technology has become a great benefit to us but many people have taken it too far. According to researcher and surveys taken all over the world shows that a large number of people may have become addicted to their technological devices and are not able to make it through a day without their cell phones or other technological devices. Many have concerns that people would rather use these devices than to have a face to face conversation. The addictions of technological devices are on the rise. Although these devices were meant to make our lives easier there have been many problems to arise ranging from health risk, relationship problems, classroom, church, and work interferences.
