Parents are to blame for most of the problems with cell phones. By letting there kids get one at a young age they allow them to be vulnerable to the many health problems and etc.. However they do have some positives, for example if their kid goes out, the parents do not have to worry because they’re just a phone call away. In the 70s and 80s teenagers never had cell phones leading to the parent staying up all night just to see you walk in the door. You might see this in a lot of older movies. Cell phones give parents a sense of security and power. Most cell phones nowadays have GPS trackers which locates you wherever you go. Because of this parents no longer have to worry about their children as much.

Also many think of the cell phone as a learning tool. Since the first smart  that came out in 2000 many have used cell phones as a way of finding information quickly and easily. For example, say you’re far away from your computer or any computer and you really need to search something up for your English class, your cell phone is right there to help you quickly search information. Cell phones have become a quick reference tool when wanting to prove someone wrong, or trying to find information on a paper you’re writing. Then cell phones have become a reliable tool for many occasions. Cell phones make it convenient for any person to get in touch no matter where you are. Also, gives our society a way to communicate besides the old fashion calling on the phones or writing letters, like they did over 50 years ago.  However, many argue that because we text to communicate we no longer know how to act socially around people.  A CNN article, they] state “Developmental psychologists studying the impact of texting worry especially about young people, not just because kids are such promiscuous users of the technology, but because their interpersonal skills — such as they are — have not yet fully formed.” Meaning they are still developing there interpersonal skills which is important because if the first thing they learn is to text people instead of talking to them face to face, they are less likely to be socially outgoing.
