Our Cell Phones, Ourselves Summary

In the article "Our Cell Phones, Ourselves by, Christine Rosen, she explains how we rely so much on our cell phones. More than a billion individuals have cell phones, and in the very near future anyone will be able to afford a cell phone. She explains that cell phones are not only used to make phone calls but to turn the heat before someone comes home and to confirm tax returns in places such as Norway and Slovakia. Even paramedics send pictures to the hospital of incomming injuries so they know what to expect. When cell phones first came out they were large and not very compact. It was only until the 90's where cell phones became smaller in size and were built with extra features. Cell phones now a days carry camera on them, mp3 plavers, video recorders, and devices that let you talk without even having to hold a phone in your hand. Through reasearch it was found that most people feel safer if they have a cell phone with them. Emergency calls can be made at any place you are at with cell phones. Even though cell phones can be used to make emergency calls, they were also used by terrorists to cause an emergency, like the bombing in Madrid. Parents have also felt the need to buy their kids cell phones just in case of an emergency, but their at times when the parents end up panicing anyways because their kids dont answer their phones, therefore their parents are wondering what has happened. One cell phone developer labeled cell phones as the "Swiss Army Knife" with all the handy feastures on them, such as, calculators, alarm clocks, and radios just to name a few. With all the new feastures on cell phones it makes it easier for people to get attached to them, with that said, the rate of car accidents that have occured because of cell phone use while driving has dramatically increased. Some states even require people to use hand held devices if they want to use their phones while driving.Cell phones have other negative qualities about them too, think of all the bacteria that are on cell phones. Its even been reported that some students in highschool were found to be addicted to their cell phones and even got anxiety if they didnt have their cell phones on them. What about the people who use cell phones to send text messages to someone they are having an affair with. Many websites now let you see "candid pornography" where you can see pictures that were taken by peeping-Toms, they use their cameras on their phones to take pictures of people in bathroom and dressing rooms and post it online. Their are still people who cant stand listening to peoples conversations everywhere they go. Much aggrivation can be caused by this, some people just dont want to hear what two people are arguing about, or the latest gossip thats going around. Fighting can be a result of this, they just get so aggrivated that they actually fight. Social skills can also be affected by cell phones, we "talk but dont have conversations" with the cell phone use. We have convinced ourselves than an alternative option can be just as good as the real thing. Sometimes being connected, disconnects us from our community.
