    When Texting Is Wrong Analysis

    In his article “When Texting Is Wrong” regarding the ethics of texting, Randy Cohen presents the argument that young people in the status quo never consented to be a part of a culture that encourages constant communication through casual texting and that there is substantial harm that stems from this passive participation in and acceptance of inappropriate texting. Cohen goes on to cite various examples in which he feels texting was inappropriate and possibly harmful i.e. in the midst of a conversation, an embrace, or a surgical procedure. He cites some real life examples in which texting has been harmful due to either texting while operating motor vehicles or being ostracized for texting at inopportune times. Cohen does make the point that…

    Should Cell Phones Be Allowed In School

    There is more than one side to the debate about cell phone availability during school. One claim is that students should be allowed to have their phones on them and use their cell phones during appropriate times. In the article, the authors provide details about how there are numerous reasons why cell phones should be allowed during school. Students should be allowed access to cell phones, because if they are responsible enough to be going off to college in a year or so, they should be responsible enough to have a cell phone on them and use it wisely (George and Cook). Another reason why cell phones should be allowed in school is because otherwise it can create a divide between the students and the teachers. Students are so invested in their phones, so if a teacher…

    To Ring or Not to Ring

    First, teachers find cell phone extremely distracting and disrespectful. Honestly, teachers do not oppose texting in class because they are mean, or don’t want students to socialize, but rather for students benefit. In fact, they are trying to prepare us for our future and the lives we will go on to live after high school. But with cell phones, we are depriving ourselves of education! With our cell phones going off in class, to our classmates getting caught playing Angry Birds, cell phones are awfully disturbing to have in class. Teachers only want to prepare…

    Case Study on Texting

    As part of the Foundation workstream the Text or Short messaging service (SMS) was explored as a low cost access route for interacting with customers. The advantage of a flexible SMS system is that it can be used both as a way of dispensing information to our residents as well as capturing information from them, both business intelligence and operational intelligence (problem reporting etc). This gives another channel shift route and provides a drastically lower cost per transaction than face to face or by telephone (£17/£5 respectively)…

    Smartphones in the Classroom?

    The topic of Smart phones being used in class is a well debated topic especially for the classroom’s of today. Some teachers believe that it’s just a distraction and should be put away. Other teachers believe that it’s just another way for students to “cheat” on the various assessments that they will receive. Some teachers also believe that when given the option to use smart phones that students will just abuse the idea and be on the phone more than during class work. There are some teachers that permit the students to use smart phones in some class room activities and the students end up learning a lot from the activity and actually like doing it at the same time. There is also a term for it called “BYOT” (Bring Your Own Technology). This is also a great idea because a recent survey says that over 80% of kids have Smartphone be 8th grade.
