Blog Ideas for Essay #4

I am going to talk about how people are so caught up in their phones. I read the novel, Cell, by Stephen King. It was not to easy to find any social issues that i could bring up in my essay. However, i am going to talk about how people are acting like zombies because of their cell phones. People are more interested in their own cell phones than other people. It feels like a lot of people rather want to play on their phone, talk to other people through text messaging. Phones purpose is to be able to get in contact with someone far away, however, it feels like the phones are eliminating your social surroundings.

I agree. I think this a big issue and it should be interesting to write about.

Too many people are driving around texting slowing down the freeway almost getting me killed out there. I think you have enough evidence right there.

I think that our smart phones are really taking up our personal time with friends and family. Whether its for work or play everyone is caught up in their phones. I personally have my phone loaded with my work email, personal email, and school email all connected to my phone so that I am alerted at all times when I get a new email. I know I spend way more time on my phone than I use to in the past. Now I can surf the web, download apps, play games, and even pay bills or check my bank account all through my phone. It is an essential part of my daily life.
