Firstly, I disagree with the point that was made saying teenagers should be banned from using smartphones until they are 18. “Remove smartphones from the hands of under-18s and maybe they will grow up to be less dumb.” I feel that it may be too harsh to do so as they are required some form of entertainment which is easily

Ever since smartphones were created, they have changed teenagers’ lives entirely. The article Have Smartphones Destroyed a Generation? by Jean Twenge, shows the ways the invention of the smartphone has changed recent generations. The article mentions the rise in teen depression and suicide, cyberbullying, and teen safety. It also mentions the decline in our social abilities, dating, and sleep. Smartphones have had both negative and positive affects on teenagers, but the negatives significantly outweigh the positives, which points to the need to put down the smartphones, as the article suggests.

When children hit their adolescent years, most of them are given cellular phones by their parents. Parents may think that by providing their young adolescent with a cellular phone it is a form of keeping touch with them at all times. Even though I do not believe this is very responsible of the parents to do because adolescents do not get to build up a sense of self awareness in the dangerous world around them; they seem to lack their sense of direction since the android cellular phones now in days give you the answers to practically everything. From searching the web to always communicating through a text; cellular phones have tethered

Should teens be limited to the amount of technology that’s exposed? We’ve all been or are going to be a teenager. There is no way to avoid it. Leisure has changed over time. The definition of leisure to any adult would be playing with friends in the street, doing some homework or maybe even working at a job. Today, it consists of texting on iphones/blackberries, watching T.V or going on social networks. Teens nowadays have Call of Duty, Jersey Shore, iPad and Facebook. It seems today that any teenager would agree that they can’t live without one thing: technology. Is technology straining ones ability to learn? Are our priorities straight? Scientists have been exploring this topic to help our society for a number amount of years already.

Teens should have a cell phone. “ Ten Reasons Why Your Kid Should Have A Cell Phone.” It is a Website Article, and the author is Bonnie Crowe. Teens should have cell phones since They will need a cell phone in a bad situation, also most kids and parents are busy, and having a cell phone will give teens a way to be responsible.

One of the major problems in the world today is the dependency that teenagers have on their cell phones. The majority of people depend on their cell phones for everything that they do. They feel like they have to constantly check it to look at what is new on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram. They forget to focus on the world around them and become absorbed in the online world. Some suffer from panic attacks if they don’t have their phone with them. They might not need their phone, but they have to have it with them.

Society is changing rapidly because of the ever changing advancements. Many classes are now online, tests are online, homework assignments are online, and there are apps for everything. Many tasks that were once thought of as strenuous and annoying, can now be done with a couple finger taps. It is incredible how far technology has come, and the present generation has no idea what it would have been like without all of this technology. Technology is continuing to change, and this generation is becoming more adapt to changes. Every year something different changes, and society again has to adapt. It can be hard to adapt sometimes, but this adaptation requires active participation from society, which could explain why adolescents cannot get away from their phones. According to Adam Thierer, adapting to technology is “a learning process, and we humans are good at rolling with the punches and finding new baselines along the way” (Thierer, “Again, We Humans Are Pretty Good at Adapting to Technological Change”). Thierer is right when he says this. Teenagers minds are very pliable, and they are willing to accept new changes. They have not yet gotten to the stubborn stage of their lives, and they can adapt

First I will start with the cell phone. Majority of teens that have a cell phone probably use their phone as a

I feel that this is a relevant issue in this society. Most teens like me are born in a society that is used to electronic devices.

As I read through the article, I noteced the article is dedicated to the fact that teens spend too much time on their phone. I agree with that, but I also think being accicted to a phone is normal. There is a quote in the article by the digital detox expert Holland Hails saying, "Technological addiction can happen to anyone," in her book, she even discribed technology as, "the new 21st century addiction." I strongly agree with these quotes indicating that an technological

Even though some people want cell phones in school, other people think otherwise, We should definitely not be able to have cell phones during school because cell phones get kids distracted, kids could cheat off of them, also kids would feel left out if they didn’t have a phone.

The article also says that new technology are essential to success in Today's world.

Iphones is the phone that is breaking the charts and everyone in the world wants one, but teenagers use them for the wrong reasons such as posting fights or arguing with people they don't even know. Nowadays teenagers don't even go outside anymore, they rather be on there phone on social media sites doing nothing at all.

Phones and computers help us stay connected to the friends and family we might not have been able to stay in contact with without them.
