cCELL PHONES

A cell phone is the biggest invention of this century. It changed our lives dramatically and nothing is the same anymore. Especially combining computer and phone made such a different world for everyone. The reason for the invention was to help us communicating easily, but in my opinion it also causes us to cut off communication between people.
First of all, we became virtual humans because we are constantly texting and using social media on our phones, we also start having virtual friends as well. Of course it’s easier to express our good or bad feelings without seeing each other, but we need to find out how healthy this is. Human beings needs to share emotions and learn how to communicate with each other as a human not as a robot in order to develop healthy relations in their lives.
In addition, child development gets affected negatively. Nowadays, every kid has a cell phone even though they’re very young. They prefer to text to their friends or play with their phones. In reality, kids need to learn how to play and talk with their friends. This is the way how to learn sharing, how to learn to have a discussion and agreement. We get all this kinds of habits when we are young so it’s very important to put a limit of using the cell phone for our kids.
It should also be noted that cell phones affect our health negatively as well. Studies show that electromagnetic waves cause disturbance in sleep, difficulty in concentration, fatigue, and headache. They increase the resting blood pressure and reduce the production of melatonin; also they are implicated in DNA strand breaks and it may cause lung cancer.
Even though we are all aware of these negative sides we don’t know how we lived before cell phones. Definitely, it makes our lives easier. It’s easy to reach each other especially if you are far away from your parents and friends. However, we lived before cell phones; everybody found the way to see and to talk to each other and we had our

    In “Extra large, Please,” Alice M. Davies focuses on the increase of obesity with children, which schools are provoking. There are many various social problems in kids of America today ranging from poverty to drug abuse. One alarming factor that is rapidly exploding is childhood obesity. Alice Davies’ article, “‘Extra Large,’ Please,” which describe the alarming social problem of childhood obesity connected to the fast food industry in America today. Davies stated: “the number of American kids who are dangerously overweight has tripled. More than 16 percent of our children qualify as ‘obese’” (Davies). Although childhood obesity is a growing problem stemming from a terrible diet and lack of exercise, we can take action now to avoid further detriment towards their future health. The first cause of childhood obesity is the lack of inactivity. Many schools are not required to have any physical education. Unfortunately, Davies’ states: “Many of those schools are so short of money they’ve scrapped physical-fitness classes” and “too few communities have athletic programs in place.” It is terrible that schools have a hand in this growing epidemic. Also, Spurlock’s Supersize Me documentary shows that “schools are cutting out recess to study for testing and only one state requires physical-fitness classes.” It is terrible that most of these children taking exams are obese. In addition, they live in a dangerous neighborhood where they can’t go out and play because drug activity and violent crime may make playing outside dangerous. Communities should take part in making the neighborhood a safe haven for kids to play outside. The second cause of childhood obesity is poor eating habits. Children will rather eat candy instead of focusing on the products that are good for the body. Parents play a major role when it comes to allowing or giving their child food that will damage the body more less providing nutrients. Children need to leave the junk food behind…

    One reason that cell phones have had a very big influence on man's life is that they are an easier way for people to communicate with one another than conventional telephones.

Cellphones Vs. Letters is very proper equation to use, because by cellphones help us to contact our peers very easily and almost instantly. In contrast, when it comes to communication style in the past, people were having such a difficult time, because it used to take such a long period of time for the letter to reach its destination to the person that the sender is trying to contact.

    Obviously, telephones can be extremely useful in some situations. Telephones could be life-saving if you were in danger, and had to make a SOS call. Communication has become revolutionary because of telephones, with it being extremely efficient, and also more environmentally-friendly, as now less paper is used to write letters (the main form of communication before telephones were introduced). Now it is only a few clicks of particular numbers, and the communication starts. Lastly, it is very cheap.
