There is no doubt that cell phones play an important role in the daily lives of Americans, but when the question of right or wrong comes to mind, one can only begin to ponder. Although some car accidents have been caused by cell phone distractions, they prove to be more beneficial than dangerous. Designed to make communication more convenient, the cell phone reinvented the American lifestyle for the better. The truth is that life has become more efficient, convenient and connected than ever thanks to mobile phones. Today, nearly 91% of Americans and 75% of American teenagers own a cell phone. Samantha Wilkinson, Kate Houtz, and myself, students at Holly High School, conducted a survey of about a hundred people asking them questions about their cell phone addiction, what cell phone activities they participate in most, and other related questions. It turns out that the most popular use of cell phones is sending text messages. It has been argued that texting creates a huge distraction in teenagers' lives, taking up brief moments of school time to text friends, bosses, and parents, which ultimately results in a large amount of time. Longtime Holly High School teacher David Stanley says that eleven years ago, students spent free time in class doodling on papers to distract themselves, but now, when students write, they not only distract themselves, but also others around them. While texting can be a problem at school, it is easily avoidable if students leave their phones in their pockets, perhaps even in their lockers. SMS proves to have a significant advantage; When it comes to communication, parents can contact their children in the blink of an eye. Numerous anonymous polls, conducted at the Great Lakes Outlet Mall, found that... middle of paper... sixty-three out of thirty-three people believe that cell phones have had a positive effect on the American lifestyle. life. Without them, our world would be lost in communications. Cell phones bring ease and convenience into our lives, making it possible to contact people all over the world in seconds, connecting our world entirely, wirelessly of course.
