Phone Addictions
When walking down the streets, the hallway, the supermarket: it is very clear nowadays
that people are glued to their phones. It is almost as if their noses are touching the screen. While
driving many people use their phones to get them places. People are too dependant on their
phones because everyone thing is online to research, their focus on GPS, and the ability to
communicate easily.
Nowadays people can access information on the internet very easily. If someone needs to
look something up, all they have to do is get on their phones. As a result, people are not able to
retain important information. This leads to a world where people are not as educated, which
causes a large problem. If people are not educated then are civilization could possibly be
destroyed. It is clear that people are too dependent on finding information from their phones that
they do not actually learn the information.
While driving people are relying on their phones to get them from place to place. GPS is
the new way people are getting around nowadays. If the GPS does not work anymore or a
person loses service, they would get lost, because they are so dependant on their phones getting
them places. Using phones while driving can cause people to be reckless while driving on the
road. People should be less dependant on their phones for directions to keep the roads safer.

Communicating has become a lot easier in the last decade due to cell phones. It started
out with only being able to call other people off phones. Technology has advanced so much that
you can communicate off your phone by text, call, Facebook, or Snapchat. This can cause
conversations to be misinterpreted due to talking over screens and not face to face.
While others may think that people are not dependent on their cellphones, because not
every person has one; these people are clearly wrong. Some would argue that not every person
has a cellphone or use their cell phone. Although this is true, the majority of cellphone users
outweighs the people that do not use them. More people are starting to use cell phones because
they are beginning to realize how much easier it is on daily life.
Online research, GPS, and the ability to communicate easily are the biggest contributors
with addiction to cell phones. Cell phones are becoming a big part of everyday life for most
people. It is very uncommon to meet someone that does not use any social media or does not
rely on cell phones for daily tasks. The world is becoming very advanced and people need to be
aware of it.
