CELL PHONES!! WE NEED THEM (social studies)

Over the years, many types of technology have changed. You can from the DVD players, to the tracking devices injected into animals. But, one of the most important devices is a cell phone. You can be stuck in traffic and need to get somewhere. You can be lost on the way to a soccer game and find your way by calling someone on the team. Some teenagers need their privacy, and cell phones give it to them. They can have conversations with their friends, in a text message or phone call, without their family intruding. The most significant idea that I think helps this world today is that cell phones are there in case of an emergency. If your mom gets into a car accident or fender bender, and she was supposed to come pick you up from tennis, then it would be helpful if she could call you to tell you that you need to find a ride home. If you accidentally forgot something at school, but realized it on the bus ride to school, it would be helpful to call home to see if a family member could bring it to school. Some people think cell phones aren’t necessary when in actuality they are your connection between others. They help a culture communicate with one another, keeping that culture closer in relation. I know, if I didn’t have a cell phone, many emergencies wouldn’t have been taken care of.
