The Impact Of Cell Phones On Canadian Life

With new forms of communication such as texting, cell phones bring about a whole new language. Acronyms have become very popular because they shorten the amount you have to type. But is this interfering with proper grammar learning? Many people even misspell words on purpose so the text isn’t as long, and you can say more. But if this is something people do on a daily basis, what’s to say they aren’t going to start using those misspelled words on memos at work, or papers for school. Not to mention distract people during work or school. Which brings me to the next effect.

In the world today, cell phones are being used more than ever before. Everywhere you go, cell phones are present, and its users range from almost all ages. There is no avoiding the fact that cell phones are a prominent way of communication. They have become so influential in peoples’ everyday lives that many can not imagine life without a cell phone. Cell phones are not necessarily a bad tool, when used in moderation. Cell phones are changing the way people communicate and the way they live their everyday lives.

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.

One of the most crucial needs for human beings in the need to communicate with one another. Communication is what gives us meaning to our lives. Cell phones have become one of the most multifaceted and efficient ways for us to communicate today. I believe that cell phones are changing Canadian lives in a positive way, with the benefits outweighing the costs. Cell phones keep us connected, provide a wealth of information, are useful in emergencies and make our lives more efficient.

In such a short period of time people now seem more absorbed by these objects which are meant for communication but at the same time separate people from each other and shape the way people communicate. It is almost as if everyone was from a different country and did not know how to communicate with each other. My main focus on this project was the dining halls but since I currently live on a ten story building here on campus I could also notice this same behavior of using phones in the elevators. People usually walking in listening to music or with their phone, and the eye contact is kept to the minimum. Nobody says anything but a very few amount of people who say a greeting when they walk in. So with the observations on the elevator I saw that this behavior was not only displayed in dining halls, but basically everywhere and because everyone has these items I could notice it even while I was walking to my classes. Some people did not even pay attention to where they were walking because of being focused on a phone. In the most extreme cases I saw people on hover boards while using their phone which is life-threatening for the user and people around

I believe cell phones are changing the lives of Canadians in a negative way for several different reasons; all of which will be outlined below.

Technological advances during the last fifty years of human history have given billions of people instant access to unprecedented communication methods. Individuals are no longer limited to letter writing and sending telegrams to convey a verbal message. E-mails, text messaging, video chat, instant messenger, and various social media outlets are all platforms for human communication in the modern world. One of the most significant communication devices to surface from the technological serge is the cellular telephone. Every individual with a cell phone has the ability to call any person, place, or agency at anytime as long as the individual is within the service provider's coverage area. The prevalence of cell phone owners has increased the use of cell phones in public places, such as schools, restaurants, and theaters, and their use in public is associated with both positive and negative implications. Some argue cell phones should be banned from public places because they are a social distraction, inhibit the user from being able to focus properly, and can cause safety concerns by interfering with airplanes and hospital equipment. Despite the negative impacts associated with cell phone use in public places, cell phones must be allowed in public for safety reasons, emergency scenarios, and to support the individual's right to personal freedom.

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.

Having poor grammar skills leaves one with the incapability to clearly speak or write and be correctly understood. Technology is destroying grammar skills of the adolescents generations. Texting has us turning grammar into shorthand sentences. For instance, using the number two as a short form for “to”. In the article “Does Grammar Really Matter?”, Mignon Fogarty writes, “let’s say you sent your company president an e-mail

In Mark Glaser’s October 22, 2007, article, “How Cell Phones Are Killing Face-to-Face Interactions,” Glaser discusses how cell phones are causing people to no longer interact with each other.

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.

People get distracted all the time by phones firstly, people get distracted a lot on their phones, tablets, computers, and any other piece of technology from the real life world. Technology keeps us all away from your family and friends. This can be very distracting when you can just be going outside with your friends and go do something else like play sports or play tag. Technology is way to distracting in these days because people don't even care about what is happening to the world anymore instead they are just sitting on their couch on
