My position for Essay 1 was that cell phones are detrimental to humanity. I think I will be sticking to this topic for Essay 2. Although, while I was writing Essay 1 found myself running out of things to write about so, I have a feeling expanding on this topic is going to be a bit of a challenge. As I was writing my paper I was thinking about the opposing view. I'm sure there are quite a few people that are going to disagree with me. Probably everyone on the planet. The reasons backing my position are: That cell phones cause accidents, health problems, and are harmful to our youth. I'm sure there are many people that will argue that many other things to contribute to accidents too. I'm also sure that many parents will argue that cell phones are life savers. They make for great tracking devices and also save a lot of parents time as far as picking their children up from places and such. And now that I'm writing down these ideas I'm almost thinking of moving over to the opposing side again.
But, despite my own cell phone addiction...I do still think that I brought up some pretty good points in my paper. I'm hoping to find some nice solid articles to maybe contribute some statistics to support my reasons. I'd also like to find some information about all the laws that have been passed and laws organizations and cities are trying to get passed about cell phone usage/texting while driving. Hopefully I'll find some useful information in the databases. Though I'm really not looking forward to the documentation part of the research paper. The only downside to research. Something about it is just a little intimidating...don't want to accidentally plagiarise or anything.

You know I think your right about how cell phones are determintal to society. You know some laws that back that are like the, "no cell phone use in school zones", and i believe there trying to do something about no driving and texting or talking on the phone. not to sure about that one. but these young kids are sexting and such and that is not cute to me. there is just too much these kids can get there hand on by the touch of a button. they maybe good for tracking there kids or communication, but somethimes parents have to put a limit to what they allow there children to do. Also there was something on the news, they said that texting and driving is causing just as much car accident and deaths as drunk driving! So it can go both ways! Just depends on how responsable the user is!
