The three selections I read, "Dearly Disconnected" by Ian Frazier, "I Want A .
Wife" by Judy Brady, and "Television: The Plug-In Drug" by Marie Wynn, all have .
different views. "Dearly Disconnected" is a comparison and contrast article, "I Want a .
Wife" is a definition article, and "Television: The Plug-In Drug" is a cause and effect .
article. They all express different views, from cell-phones to television ruining our little .
children. In Frazier's article he explains how cellular phones are taking over pay .
phones (Frazier 393), Judy Brady speaks of how she, as most men would, would like to have a .
wife (Brady 505), and Ms. Wynn explains that television is ruining today's youth and is .
breaking up our families (Wynn 325). .
The first article I read was "Dearly Disconnected" by Ian Frazier. In his article .
Frazier talks about how a pay phone eventually brought about his marriage, he also .
talks about the way that pay phones are being taking over by cell phones and how he .
disagrees with it. I agree with him in the fact that cell phones are indeed taking over .
pay phones, everyone you see these days have cells, even young children. I personally .
have a cell phone and like it. The only time I think about using a pay phone is when I .
want to make a prank call. Some people though, do still use pay phones, mostly in .
bigger cities. In the city I live in, about ten thousand people maybe, there are maybe .
twenty pay phones; and you can find most of them in the hospital. Frazier seems to be .
mad about the decline in the use of pay phones, considering it brought about his great .
marriage. The decline of pay phones doesn't really make me that mad, in fact I really .
don't even care, considering pay phones affected his life much more than mine. I live .
now in a world of cell phones, they"re all around, no pay phones just cell phones. Much .
to the dismay of Ian Frazier pay phones will probably not be around in the next ten .
