Cell phone use can be both a good and a bad thing. In a way we are all connected but then again we aren't. By using cellphones we don't feel the need to talk on the phone or talk in person. For some people, since they use their cellphone so much and so often it makes it awkward for them to actually have a conversation in person. Cellphones may make things easier but it's making people more lazy and making them socially awkward, depending on the person of course. I personally love my cell phone and i'm thankful to have one, without my cellphone it'd make talking to my friends i don't see very often nearly impossible.

Cellphones have changed the world. Most of the time when you go out, you use your cellphone to find out what other people are doing so you can meet up with them. Other times, such as when you are at home, you are either texting people, or talking on the phone. One of my personal favorites is having late night phone conversations with my boyfriend or friends. The world has been changed by cellphones because not only do they make it easier for us to communicate with one another, but they also make it easier for us to stay close with people. Without cellphones, back in the old days, they had to go out and talk to people. Cellphones have changed the world for good and bad though. Just texting and talking on the phone isn't as good as talking face to face, which could eventually cause people to not be able to talk in front of large crowds. This is what I think about cellphones, and how they've changed the world for good and bad.
