Advancement of cellphones

Advancement of the cellphones have been rediculously amazing ever since Alexander Graham Bell invented the first phone in 1876. Try imagning a world without phones, we would all probably be hunting and gathering still. Everywhere you go, there are literally hundreds of cell phones around you. Here's a scary thought, people use them whenever and wherever even while putting their lives in danger. People use them while driving, walking across the street, in class, etc. In one little device, the whole world is in your pocket.

The smarter the phone gets it's as if people are getting lazier and dumber.

Phones are used as distractions everywhere, whether it's at school or at work

and it's a controversial topic regarding whether or not cell phones should be used within school for educational purposes. Back before the industrial times, adolescents were supposed to be productive in and around the househole. They were to help their mother and fathers tend to the land and take care of the children. Now, adolescents are just expected to go get education and make use of their future. Technology helps influence changes around the world. It drives progress in society because without it, medicine and science research wouldn't advance also. Technology alters the way we interact with our environment. Ever since the internet was invented, there were new ways to communicate with people that were further away. Now, you can get in contact with your loved ones through social media and through social media, that is how news around the world gets delivered. As much as we like it or not, cellphones and technology will continue to keep advancing, more so for the better.
