Reflect: This source will definitely be put into my research paper because it contains a number of variant reasons as to why people might be addicted and how they will overcome it. This source has helped me a lot and it allowed me to grasp a better understanding of why cell phones are addicting and how many people are actually addicted. This article supports my thesis statement because it agrees with the fact that cell phones are addicting in a way that has a negative outcome. I will use this source in the beginning of my research paper to show the readers what other people and sources think before I convey my own personal thoughts of my proposal. This article will not be what I base my research paper on because it doesn’t meet my expectations as a whole because I would like some in depth answers. Never the less this source is a good place to start.
