Get Off Your Phone!!

Phones have been one of the biggest technological movements of the century, especially when everyone has one nowadays. Phones have altered society greatly, including bringing people closer together, but have also separated people. Everyone is more connected online, but everyone is also less talkative in real life. People tend to prefer using their phone rather than communicating with others, even at events where communication is the main thing. People meet other people through online networks nowadays, whereas making friends in person is much rarer. Younger generations have more access to phones nowadays and it is limiting the social skills of these younglings. In the future, technology will most likely take over our world and force everyone to communicate through technology.

Family, parent, friend, and teacher relationships have been more distant as people start to use cell phones more and more. Cell phones may have made friends closer with you, but has definitely made teacher and parent relationships farther apart. In my opinion, cell phones should be allowed in schools and classrooms because it helps students work. Without an "oasis" in the classroom, studying would be a lot harder. Cell phones give students a sense of freedom without having to sneak the phone during class. Administrators should permit the use of phones, but not allow extensive use such as games and movies. These things are left to be done during your leisure time.
