Sitting in front of her plasma, Ashley suddenly receives a surprise text from her bff Nicole. Forgetting about her now not-so-interesting-show Ashley wanders off into never ending text zone. Much like Ashley many teenagers,adults,and even young children use technology in their everyday life. Cell phones have affected people’s life by being able to communicate faster and also causing lack of concentration.

Mostly everyone in the twenty-first century has communication through a cell phone every day. Whether it’s texting or calling, long distance or short distance people are always on their phones communicating. For example, living in the United States and having family on the other side of the world, such as Paris, France can cause a major problem in family communication. However, having a cell phone can make this task 10 thousand time better by receiving and sending news and ideas faster than flash himself. In addition, letting others know about an idea or situation, or an emergency gets done faster by cell phones and their friendship with everyone. Walking by a familiar place can remind a grandchild of his grandmother, and now she’s just a phone call away. Cell phones can allow all ages to communicate faster than ever before.

Cell phones can be really useful but can also cause lack of concentration to others around. For example, I was sitting in the living room on my cell phone texting away, and my mother started to talk to me, I was answering like a typical teenager would do. Yes mom, OK mom, sure mom, which lead to me not doing the thing she had told me to do, leading to being grounded and my phone being taken up. Having a cell phone can be a great thing by can lead to great consequences.Not only do you lose concentration and suffer punishments, it creates little want to pay attention. Sitting in a classroom, all Amber can think about is the text Amy told her she send, leading to her nor paying attention to the very important topic the teacher was teaching lead to Amber’s opportunity of her high school diploma.

Therefor, phones can be a gift of heaven by being able to communicate fast, but could also be the cause of failure in life because of lack of concentration.
