socio-politics

… or at the very least, the “us” as opposed to the “I”.

Cell phone usage has gone far beyond the novelty of always having a phone to use - they are preventing people from having normal social interactions and separating us from the rest of the planet. Regardless of where you are or who you are with, you know that, with just a few phone calls or text messages, you can find out what else you can be doing. There is also no pressure to devote yourself to the current situation that you are in because, if you get bored, you can start conversations with anybody that you have the number of.

I might just demand attention too much, but I can not stand cell phones. If you are around any other people, just devote yourself to enjoying the situation that you are in. It is not right to always have your phone out and to not think anything of it. Granted, there are some exceptions, but the whole situation prevents the genuineness of social interactions.

I do use my phone plenty -there are obviously plenty of benefits to having one. The down side is that the negatives will increase in severity as more technological discoveries are made. Being able to create a fanbase through any kind of self-indulgent online site such as youtube is isolating enough at the present time. In not too long it will undoubtedly be as easy to do any of these things on your phone as it is on a computer, any people will be able to immerse themselves in their online world whenever they like. And the more that people can immerse themselves within their own private world, the less they are in tune with other peoples, and this can cause some serious problems.

AND our phones may be giving us all brain cancer……..
