What I Want

I always wanted to have lots of things since I was a kid. I wanted sport balls, toys, games, iPods, a brother and so much more, but the most I wanted was my very own phone.
There was a time when I really wanted a phone but was not able to get it because it costs too much and because I am too young. Everyone in school and all my friends started getting a phone but I wasn’t able to. I was not too or desperate for getting a phone then until I started working. At first I would work with my brothers and if I needed to call someone or my manager I would have to go find him and then ask to call. That started to make me more desperate for a fun since I have to always use him for his phone and give everyone who asks me for my contact info his or my parents number, but I was still able to keep a hold of myself and not be pushy and demanding. So once I and my brothers were done our summer job, I got hired in Bluenotes at Milton by myself. So I had to use everyone’s phone to call in and ask when am I going to work, call from the customer services when I was done my work to get picked up, and wasn’t able to tell my bro that I am going to be working later shifts and he would come 1-2 hours earlier to pick me up. So that’s when I started becoming desperate for a phone.

Some of my friends and brothers recommended I get a phone since it’ll be easier for my work, transportation, contacting, and especially for emergencies because if something was wrong it would be good to let someone know. Although some people tried talking me out of it saying I am too young for a phone, it is going to cost too much money and that I am not too careful with my things.

The benefits of a phone is that I would be able to keep in touch with everyone I know, it would be more easier for me at work to not have to ask customer services to use their phone all the time, I could call my parents or police if there is an emergency and so I can always let my parents know where I am if they

    In the late 80’s the company I worked for moved toward creating cell phones and gave each employee an opportunity to get one. The funny thing is that to this day I still have the same cell phone number and I probably purchased 10 or more different phones over the past 25 years. Today the phones are smarter and a computer in your hand because now you can also complete shopping, banking, and a ton of useful things.…

    In addition, as a pre-teen, about to go out in the world on my own, I really believe I would feel much safer knowing that if I ever got in a situation and needed help, I would have a way to call someone if I had a cell phone. I also believe if parents looked at it in a different way other than it being another bill they have to pay; they would see this point as well. I believe they would see the safety in it.…

    Cell phones come in handy during an emergency. First, if someone is driving and lands into an accident, most cars don’t have the “GM on star” button so they are most likely to use their cell phone to get help. Anyone can dial 911, and get the help they need in just a matter of seconds. Whereas if someone didn’t own a cell phone it would be very difficult to get help as fast. There are times where someone can be in a very critical situation where if they do not get the help they need as soon as possible they could potentially die. For example, if someone’s head got cracked open during the car accident they would immediately need help from the paramedics. Also, if there is an urgent situation, where you believe there is someone following you for example, and your life is in danger then cell phones are there as a tool. One can easily contact the police or a family member to seek help, and save their life. In contrast, if someone did not have a phone then the “stalker” has a better chance of getting a hold of you. It will make it hard for someone to escape a situation like this. Thirdly, cell phones also come in handy when you forget to inform your parents or friends about any new event coming up. For example, unexpectedly you have to stay after school to finish a test, and your mom and dad are not aware of it. Then you can use your cell phone to let them know. Overall, cell phones can be realistic in times of an emergency.…

    April frawley Birdwll insists that the problem of using cell phone seems to be growing, and some people lose a relationship or a job due to the cell phones. However, his opinion is biased. He only focuses on the problem of cell phone. Actually, cell phones bring people more benefits than problems. Children using cell phones can make more friends than those don not use. Cell phone is a tool for communication with each other. By using cell phones, children can contact with their fiends no matter what time is or where they are located.

    One of the most popular inventions available in today’s market is the smartphone. I am the youngest of four children; I remember when my older sisters and brother were given cell phones for the first time while they were in high school. The phones that they got were cheap, clunky, and could only be used to store contacts and make calls. Years later, when I reached fifth grade, nearly every one of my friends had been given cell phones. I remember specifically begging my parents for one as well, so I could be a part of this new trend. My parents argued with me that an 11 year old did not need a cell phone, but eventually my efforts paid off, and I was given a cheap phone to be used for “emergency calls only”. I remember how joyous I was, with my cheap phone and its limited capabilities. Over the next few years, the cell phones began to become more and more advanced. Whether it was better cameras, cooler designs, or limited Internet access, many kids I went to school with continued to bully their parents into buying them the latest phones in order to keep their social status high. My parents, however, would not…
