Cell phone

 Cell phone is the most used technology today. Almost all of us now have a cell phone, even our grandparents. I remember when I was a kid, my father’s cell phone was the Nokia 3310, it is black and white, thick, and without camera. I remembered it because I always borrowed it from him, just to play Snake and Space Impact. The cell phones now days are very different compared to the past years, it’s because of the growing technology. Cell phones are already colored, touch screen, thinner, lighter, with camera and can connect to the wife.

We all know that things and gadgets are created for us to benefit from it and make our life easier, but there are disadvantages too. Cell phone is very useful to me. I am able to communicate to my family and friends through texting and phone calls, and I can contact them in case of emergency. I can play music for entertainment, watch videos if I want, capture the memorable moments in my life together with my family and friends for remembrance, and play games when I am bored. I can also connect to the wife to be able to surf the internet for me to be updated in the latest news, discover new things that I don’t know yet and allows me to log-in in my favorite social networking sites like Face book and Twitter.

There are disadvantages and bad effects of using a cell phone. The radiation of the cell phone that can have an effect on my body and brain. Sometimes, I don’t have enough time to talk, tell stories, experiences, opinions, thoughts, and feelings to my family and friends because of texting. It also became a distraction for me when I am doing my homework and projects and when I’m studying for a quiz or exam. When waking up in the morning, the first thing that I will do is check my cell phone before praying, which is really bad? And when sleeping at night my cell phone is beside me. For some, they don’t respect the foods during meal time because they can’t set aside their phones; they still use it while eating. In class, some students don’t listen to their teachers/professors because of using their cell phones.

 I will do all my best to change my attitude in using my cell phone. I want to spend a quality time with my family and friends. I will lessen the time of using my cell phone and leave it in one place when I’m doing a homework or project and while studying, so that I will not be tempted to use it.
