Lawyer Paragraph

Are students addicted to their cellphones? If so, is that a problem

Yes! Student’s are very addicted to their phones. In this paragraph I am trying to prove the negative and positive sides of mobile phones and the addictions the happen with this device. This addiction is a worldwide problem that occurs due to us spending most of the days on our phones, trying to present ourselves in a certain way to satisfy the needs of others & too get liked. While our mobile phones are a very productive and helpful device there is always a negative & positive side. Some negative effects of mobile phones are that they can be used in criminal activity and many other things. these devices can interfere and distract us from our school,work and sometimes even our relationships. But a positive is they help out so much in our every day lives and makes it easier for us to contact relatives and friends.

Technology

Tech Poster

Technology has been improved so much throughout the many years of its existence. It’s helped the way people have carried out their everyday life. Technology matters to us peoples/individuals for many reasons. Some reasons are communicating, learning, and to help get jobs applications. It also supports and determines how we interact with each other. With the establishments of mobile phones we can use these device to call for emergency, contact our friends & family and to also to take same picture. With the manufacturing of a oven we can now make plenty of foods that wont necessarily burn easily over and old school fire stove & another example of a technology that has help improve our lives is modern cars these have help us so much with travelling and transport. These 3 examples show us how technology is used has and how its help improved our lives.
