Article “OMG! We've been here B4!” by Clive Thompson is a reflection of what the effects the telephone has on everyday communication as well as the development of the telephone over the years. Thompson however explains that the early days of the telephone weren't seen as a helpful tool for social interaction, but an abate to conversation. When the cell phone first emerged on scene, it was believed that people choose to communicate face-to-face less and call instead. Clive Thompson explores the thought that texting may make people shield their emotions, limit conversations to only the phone, and erode intimacy. Although the telephone had various opinions, the cell phone did not destroy traditional etiquette but altered the way we communicate with one another.

As much as I regret to admit it, I’m attached to my phone. I’m constantly reaching into my pocket to check the time, make sure I haven’t gotten a new update, or to send a message. I do this even when I’m not talking to anyone! It’s become an addiction, having to make sure I’m not missing anything, and I'm not the only one who has this problem. Seventy-five percent of the world population has a cell phone, and that number will only increase. With the creation of new technology portions of life have become easier. Technology has changed the way we go through life. It’s made talking to people easier, as well as keeping up with the lives of others. However, the effects have affected the aspects of our lives that don’t include technology.

Cell phones and technology are wonderful tools for us to communicate and to grow as society but even though there are many benefits of using cell phones in the various social environments, there is also the greater disadvantage of the usage of the devices. The effects of being rude to one another, “light” unimportant conversations, and weak relationships between peers or family members. In today's world people are way too connected electronically and disconnected emotionally. As there is a lot of controversy to if cell phones are running society's social lives or not, research has shown that they are in fact hurting and affecting how people are interacting and communicating with one another. Between the lack of empathy and the lack of face to face conversations, cellular devices “smart phones” are the major reasons society is seeing a negative effect in people’s social life

In the article, “Stop Googling. Let’s Talk.”, Sherry Turkle claims that technology is leaving us vulnerable to the world. Cell phones along with other technology can be detrimental in certain situations. She bases her claim off of several experiments done with all ages of kids and technology. The article, written in 2015 and published in the Sunday Review, targets how the conversations today are becoming shallow because the world attached to their phones. Even though Turkle’s argument that conversations are dying and are shallow, her article shows evidence that conversations are different when phones are in sight.

“Can you remember the last time you were in a public space in America and didn’t notice that half the people around you were bent over a digital screen, thumbing a connection to somewhere else?” (Fredrickson, 2013, pg. 1).

All of this takes bondage on having an interpersonal relationship with each other and conversing

Its 2017, we live in a world surrounded by technology and one of the leading innovations is the cell phone. No matter where you go you're bound to see at least one person on their phone. These technological advances are bringing us further in life but they are also taking away things that are important to us as a society.

Both articles “Our Cell Phones, ourselves”, by Christine Rosen and “Taking the Offensive Against Cell Phones”, by Lisa Guernsey are centered on the relationship between humans and technology.

Re: “Why I Hate Cell Phones” by Sara Reihani. Although cell phones seem important at any given time, its true but in today’s world is not more than a distraction for the youth.

With featured-filled cell phones that are out nowadays with its size being so convenient to have anywhere, anytime, and anyplace, we lessen the need for anything else except the essentials such as food, water, and shelter. That attachment to a device that seems so necessary and convenient thus creates an unselfconscious bond and connection with it that
