Mobile Phone Speech

In today's world, when people go out with their families or friends, they are looking at their phones most of the time. The cell phone has changed the way people communicate with each other. Before modern technology, if you wanted to talk to someone, you would have to walk up to them in person. Now with a cell phone, they can just shoot a text message to someone, go on social media or call the person. When talking about cell phones, people would only think of the beneficial things that it brings. Although cell phones have so many benefits, I still believe that cell phones are a threat to our safety, our communication skills, and our education.
First, people are so busy with their lives that they might find the difficulty of managing all the
No matter how far apart they are away from us, we can strengthen our relations and build bonds through video chat, online messaging, or sharing pictures and videos. It only takes seconds rather than days to receive letters, and videos and photos are being shared immediately. Unfortunately, our face-to-face communication is ruing as cell phones conversation taking up so much of our times. For most of the people, their cell phones are always with them when they leave their house. This result less chance of people interacting with one another. The Pew Research Center is a nonpartisan American think tank based in Washington, D.C. The organization conducted a study in 2015, “89 percent of cellphone owners said they had used their phones during the last social gathering they attended. But they weren’t happy about it; 82 percent of adults felt that the way they used their phones in social settings hurt the conversation.” (qtd. In Turkle 1).

People are so used to texting instead of having a conversation with a person sitting in front of them which can cause them to feel nervous when talking to someone in person. When a person is texting someone is hard to tell the tone of a person or their feeling. The texts that people sent might
When walking around the school, you will notice that almost every student whether they had friends nearby or not had a cell phone out to read text messages or check voicemails as they walked around. It was once something that people did in their private and during downtime, but now it has become an obsession because they feel the need to use it every time. Also, students have no problem using it secretly in class without getting caught. In fact, some of the professors are not too strict with their cell phones policy. They allowed students to use it during class time which can be distracting and cause them to not pay attention to what the professor is saying. For example, last semester I did not do too well in one of my classes because I always on my cell phone browsing the web or talking to my friends while my professor was lecturing. I was not listening to my professor which result in doing poorly in class. In my accounting class, my professor is strict with his electronic devices. He does not allow anyone to use their cell phones or laptops. He makes sure that every student prints out the lecture notes and following along with him during class time. Without the distraction of my cell phone, I have learned that it is easy for me to understand the subject the best when I pay full attention in class. Also, I found out that cell phones also hurt my grade in English class because I realize heavily on it. When I am
