Informative Essay: The Unknown Impact Of Cell Phones

The Unknown Impact of Cell Phones
Cell phones have changed the way we go about life in many ways. They change the way we interact with people in our everyday life. They hinder our physical aspect of life without us even knowing. One of the biggest issues I see is the changes it creates in our classrooms from an educational standpoint. Cell phones have been negatively impacting our lives in some very important ways.
A huge area of impact that cell phones causes is that they change the way that we interact with people. My dad used to tell me how when he was a kid he had to ride his bike to his buddy’s houses to see what they were doing that day. Now all a person has to do is text them a simple “what’s up” to see what they are doing and

where you need to go. It is causing to kids to become more dormant in their homes because of the simple fact that they do not have to go outside to see what is going on in the outside world.
Cell phones hinder our physical aspect without us even knowing. We no longer have to get out of bed to see what the weather is like because all we have to do is click a button and it shows us. The first thing most people do when their alarm goes off is, I shut it off and immediately get on a social media site to see what people have been posting. We can not even eat a single meal without getting on our phones. I know this because I am guilty of it also. Just the other day in the lunch room there was a table of five girls, two of them with empty plates and three of them with no plates at all. Every single one of them was on their phones, not carrying on a conversation with anyone at the table, just their heads buried in their phones.
Not only does it affect our social skills, it also affects a huge part of our lives from an educational point of view.

Cell phones are harming education and causing grades to be lower than what they could be. The other day I got out of class early in the business building, as I usually do. I was walking down the hallway, back to my dorm, as I walked across a classroom that I happened to look inside. As the professor was in the front of the classroom giving his lesson for that day, I noticed that about fifteen of twenty students had their phones out not paying one little ounce of attention to the professor. I do not know about you, but I can not read a status on Facebook and retain the information that my professor is giving me, but that is just me.
We have been allowing cell phones to impact our lives in negative ways. Our everyday life changes every day because of these cell phones and how we use them. I have noticed in everyone’s life, including mine, that it is hindering us socially and physically. My biggest concern is the negative impact it is having on our education and students allowing them to get in the way of their education. We need to get a hold on these cell phones before it gets any more out of hand, but I think it is too
