Also the cells phones give off a sort of "pulse" that at a certain time if you were on the phone it would turn you into a crazy person wanting to kill other people. The world around them as started to have explosions and the cities are burning up. Tom is very affraid that his son has used the cell phone to contact his mother and when he tries to call them all the phone lies are down. I feel that some of the social issues are that, when the world has to face an event where we have a black out or all means of communication go down, we won't be able to reach the ones we need to because it seems that mostely everyone around use the cell, computer ect. and we need to do more face to face interactions in case of times like that.
