HOW DO CELL PHONES AFFECT US?

Nowadays cell phones are  very important devices for us that we bring them with us in every moment in our life. We can even say that now if you don’t have a cell phone or a social media, you’re nobody. But isn’t it affecting us in a bad way? Of course!

First of all we have to know that cell phones have been dispersed all around the world in a very short place of time, and as it has been a great bang in our lives, nowadays most of the teenagers have and use a cell phone in a very early age. Obviously this is not a good thing, because now a large percentage of students use their cell phone in class and this is affecting their studies and prejudicing every school education system.

Also, this affects our social communication with other people, because phones have become a way to close out from others and help to form an invisible wall that isolates us from things that happen all around us. The worst thing about this is that we don’t notice it and if we don’t do anything to stop the over-using of cell phones we are going to end texting each other even if we are next to them.

In second place, cell phones have materially affected language above all social media. These days, it's a common thing to see teenagers and even adults write "LOL" or "srsly" instead of expressing themselves with the entire word and its meaning. I’m not trying to say that this is a bad thing, because scientists say that the abbreviation of words could become habitual and spill into our normal conversations. But the future is imminent so we don’t know fully what is going to happen… 

Finally also cell phones affect our health in a very dangerous and bad way, the first and biggest health risk we could take with a cell phone is to use it while driving. Because there have been lots of car accidents because of using a cell phone, so we have to end it as soon as possible. Other health risks are that also cell phones emit low-level radiation every time we use it and we don’t notice it, however, the radiation potentially purposes use a risk of causing tumor growth if we are exposed to use it a lot.

So apart from the immense possibilities that cell phones give to us, we have to keep in mind that it also prejudices us in a lot of different ways that can affect us in a bad way. Use cell phones in a good and secure way!
