First of all, i want to start by saying that too much of everything is harmful, so before blaming cellphones for the irresponsibility of your children, or the lack of attention to the outside world of your friends, maybe think about how much better life would be if people had everything under control.
People often think that phones have a negative impact on our education but get this, we can learn anything and everything off of the internet. You forgot about what kind of molecules we have in our blood? Look it up on google, the answer will be there for you in 12 seconds 🙂 You can learn a language on your phone, you can find the directions to any location in just a split second, you can add reminders, mark your calendar, check you bank account balance, check in with your friends and family at any given moment!
Imagine you are a 15 year old teenager in this messed up world, how would life be for your mom if she couldn’t contact you every two seconds? She wouldn’t know if you were in danger, having a great time with your friends, or if you broke your leg. It would be stressful for her, but the fact that she can call and know how you are doing anytime puts her mind at ease.
Cellphones have so many benefits and advantages if only you know how to use them. If you have a teenager who has an obsession with his/her phone, by all means, educate them. It is really not that hard.
To sum up, phones have enormous benefits as long as we are taught how to use them correctly. Instead of snatching our phones away from us at school, give them to us and maybe make time and teach us a few lessons on the proper use of these gadgets. I promise you, it won’t impact our futures badly if we have 5 biology classes a week instead of 7.
