Cell phones benefit society and are potentially harmful in many ways for society as well. However the beneficial rolls that cell phones play in our lives outweigh the negative reasons why technology is corrupting society. This link above talks about the negative rolls of cell phone use such as how talking on the phone while driving increases the chance of an accident, as well as other facts about cell phones and how they corrupt society.
4, November. "Social Isolation and New Technology." Pew Research Center. Web. 02 May 2010.
This link above questions the use of cell phones and technology rather than choosing a distinct side and speaks of the social networking aspect of technology. It talks about how individual's social networking groups in society have become more diverse due to websites such as Face-book and Twitter. The technological advancements in society make this social networking possible and allow us to communicate quicker and more often than we would if websites such as these were not in existence. This link talks about how there may be a correlation between social networking websites and the diversity of the group of friends one has. This information is helpful/interesting because of the data it provides that I believe will be helpful while writing my essay.
"Cell Phones Equal Possible Downfall of Society." AQsaint.com. Web. 02 May 2010.
This link provides information about the certain aspects of cell phone use that could potentially corrupt the word because of a potential technological downfall. I found this information to be very interesting since I believe with most of what it states. I believe that the world has gained a dependence for the use of cell phones, which in some cases could be unhealthy. This link poses one of the many questions of which i plan to address in my essay, such as how have cell phones distanced us from some things in life and how they bring us closer and keep us better connected with the world.
Lenhart, By Amanda. "Teens, Cell Phones and Texting." Pew Research Center. Web. 01 May 2010.
This last link has a copious amount of informational and interesting statistical data that will assist me in writing my essay. The link will send you to a website that takes into account the text messaging network amongst teens and how the attachment to their phones is "an area of conflict and regulation".
All of these sources will come in handy when I start my essay, especially this last link that talks about cell phones being a "mixed blessing", this website has a lot of data that will support my thesis and will provide me with statistical data in order to prove my thesis indefinitely.
