The purpose of this article is to show people how our world is changing. Back in the day there were no cellphones or no ways to comunicate unless face to face with someone. Now a days everything is over text and not face to face its basically showing how are generations are changing and how they will be 10 years down the road, they will have no communication skills what so ever and its only going to get worse. One point that the author uses in this article is people in movie theatres they think if they keep there cellphone hidden noone will see the glare of there screen but they are wrong thats the number one thing that people complain about in movies is people on there cellphones texting, which the people arent able to enjoy cause of it. Another point the other uses in his/hers article is when people on dates from date sites like "Zoosk" they say they leave early from there dates cause the other person would constantly look at there cellphone as the person said "Were losing our one on one people skills and ability to engage in uninterrupted, focused conversations" when your on a date there should be no cellphones period it just shows you how people are changing. The distraction towards drivers and other related distractions went through the roof in july when police officers charging more than 2,000 people and one women so prooccupied with her cellphone "she didnt even notice the sirens flagging her down". My beliefs on cellphones is that there is a place and isnt a place for cellphones and you should know where thoughs places are or when you shouldnt use them its called respect and for everyone around them.
For me acceptible places for using cellphones are when your not having a conversation with someone or when your not doing anything that envolves you to listen to anyone but yourself. Its just a respect thing that you should know when to and when not to use a cellphone its pretty simple. using your cell phone while driving is not a great idea at all it says that "About 6,000 deaths and a half a million injuries are caused by distracted drivers every year". this is caused by one small little device that fits in the palm or your hand. But they are also a good thing to like if your ever lost and have to find someones house or you injured 911 is in the palm of your hand. Over all like I said there are times you should use your cellphones and there are lots of times that you shouldnt its just your responsability to figure out thoughs times when you should and when you shouldnt.
