Robert Simmons      The good and the bad of cell phones

Everyone loves new technology. People want to buy the newest computers, tablets, cell phones, and other
gadgets. But our grandparents couldn’t call or text their friends on cell phones. They couldn’t look up information
on computers or tablets. Are we happier now than they were then? I don’t think so.

Cell phones are great. We can call our parents. We can call quickly for help in an emergency. We can text our friends
and family. We can take photographs using our phones, so we don’t have to carry a camera around. We can even go
online with smartphones to get directions or find a good restaurant.

But cell phones aren’t always great. We see people playing games or texting on their phones when they’re with
their family and friends. Why aren’t they talking to each other? Some people drive and use their cell phones, and
that’s very dangerous. Some people walk and text at the same time. They sometimes fall and get hurt.

I think cell phones are great, but we have to be careful that we don’t use them too much!
