Furthermore, this study would be beneficial as a report on how cell phones came to be in our history. This would expectedly heighten the awareness of society to how different our lives could be according to technological development. To the future researchers, this study could be used as a base for data in future development into how society adapts.

As much as cell phones are helpful and convenient, they have changed the world dramatically.

They have caused many problems such as fatal car accidents due to distracted drivers on the road, as well as sexting and revenge porn, which leads to a form of cyberbullying. Even cell phones themselves are harming their overall health, their social interaction, and even teen literacy. People may not have a solution to these problems but they need to find

Fisher’s main idea in this article is that cell phone technology nowadays ruins people sociological and cultural actions and is also a reason why he refuses to have a cell phone of his own. Fisher uses his own personal experiences and his observations to support his main idea on how people allow a cellphone device to impact their daily lives. Fisher gives personal examples to support his main idea when he talks about not owning a cell phone and explains how distracting it is nowadays to own a cellphone compared to a few years ago.

They have made our roads more dangerous, yet having them in our cars has made it easier to call a tow truck when you 're stranded, or to call a radio station to report gridlock. The same person that uses their phone in line at the store to get the advantage over the unreachable employee to gain status at the office, also loses status in the community due to the snickering behind them in line. The recent telecommunications improvements provide an opportunity for the appealing psuedo-self-employed aspects of telecommuting. For parents, cell phones have eliminated the excuses of the late night returning child when asked 'Why didn 't you call?"
