Cell phones

 

            As of last count, there are 152 million American cell phone users. As of July 1, 2002, there were 192,120,354 people between the ages of fifteen and sixty four. So, assuming that all people with cell phones are between the ages of fifteen and sixty four, 79.1% of them have a cell phone. Now, we know that there are people older than sixty four and younger than fifteen who possess a cell phone. In any case, the majority of people who own a cell phone fall between the ages of fifteen and sixty four. .
             A quick glance down, a hand in the pocket fumbling with something. Ever see any of these actions? It happens in restaurants, schools, in public, and even in church. If you've seen these, it's almost certain that person is fiddling with their cell phone. I myself have been known to occasionally glance down at my phone, wondering how many minutes are left until the end of a period. The person next to you is often wondering the same thing, so, they ask you what time it is. Most people do wear watches, I don't, and it's simply one less thing for me to carry (and one less thing for me to lose.) In the three seconds it takes between the asking of the time and the telling, you miss out on what's going on in class. It may not be much, but it just might be what keeps you from failing. .
             Most adults long for their youth, when people were found outside, and were socializing face to face. Now, with e-mail, instant messaging, and cell phones, you"re more likely to find adults behind the screen of a computer or tapping away at their cell phones than enjoying the last few moments of daylight outside chatting with their neighbors. The usefulness of a cell phone is determined by your situation. Most theater patrons turn off their cell phones as a sign of courtesy to both the performers and the other people in the seats. If a cell phone goes off, many people give dirty looks and make comments under their breath.
