III.14 Writing journal (Cell Phones)

02/11/2019 - 9:07 pm to 9:32 pm - Writing diary number 14.





      Nowadays, the use of cell phones is increasing. Teenagers, adults, the elderly, even some children use it regularly. I really think this tool is very useful, it allows a lot of things. Today it helps us to communicate, to locate ourselves geographically, to send or take pictures, to record our voice, to do internet research, to have fun on social networks, etc... For example, my phone allows me to communicate with my family and friends who are in France, and it helps me a lot to keep a link with them. For many people, it would be very difficult to relearn to live without it, and I think this is a significant problem. Indeed, the use of the cell phone quickly becomes an addiction, without even realizing it. These devices help us all so much in our daily lives that it becomes almost an extension of ourselves. This worries me very much about the future. For example, I read a study that explained that many children spoke later than previous generations, precisely because their parents were on their phones and talking less to them. I think it is rather sad to get to this point. Also, I often see groups of friends who are next to each other on a bench, but don't speak between them because everyone is on their own phone. In addition, my parents only allowed me to have a mobile phone when I was 15, so I went through a period when all my friends had one, except me, and sometimes I was all alone doing nothing, because they were all on their phones and it was very unsettling. Therefore, I think that cell phones will eventually become more of a problem than a help in our lives.
