Cell phones problematic?

Although cell phones are a huge craze that everyone has taken to, there are a number of problems that cell phones have.With the New Media, the cell phone has caused there to be a decline in terms of reading books and the interactivity amoung people has decreased a lot. People, particularly the younger generation would rather read and write through text messaging, on the internet on their cell phones,videogaming,e-mailing and surfing the net, rather than reading books and doing research at libraries. cell phones in the New Media also exposes them to the english language because of all the messages and words that are abbreviated, thus effecting the speech of people and their grammar at schools. The literacy in our own native language is effected,as there is a decline in reading as people just do not read anymore. Cell phones change the way in which we live as well as our communication and interaction with other people.People see the cell phone as something that is a part of their lives and not just a tool in media.The fact that people answer their cell phones in meetings and important appointments shows that they allow the cell phone to control their everyday lives. They do not show any respect towards their fellow human beings and shows that the cell phone does come first.The fact that people sit on their phones while sitting with a bunch of friends is very rude and impersonal and implies that the cell phone does come first in their lives. Also the fact that you will see a large amount of students and scholars sitting in their lectures and playing on their phones, rather than paying attention to what the lecturer has to say.The cell phone has become a large distraction to many people and poeple have become a lot more impersonal between one another.People have lost their ability to communicate face to face and find it easier to say things and cancel appointments over the phone rather then saying these face to face.
