Put Those Cellphones Down: Sometimes

Liam Duffy, Staff Writer

 

Phones are one of the world’s most amazing inventions that have helped us improve our way of life.

It is also the best way to get yourself killed while on the road, on a mountain, or whatever else you may be doing. It is also an addiction that has plagued humanity for years, since the birth of the cellphone. People are obsessed with texting each other and making trends to make themselves look cool.

Today, people are dying from taking selfies; can you even imagine that?. Someone got eaten by a shark just because he had to take a selfie in the water. This is just one, to the many downsides of having a phone.

If you are an irresponsible person, you will ignore all of my warnings and advice on how to use a phone. A phone is used to call someone in emergencies, not every time you see something and you just have to text it to your bestie. This is why people die in car accidents because they are careless people who only look at Facebook and nothing else.

Apps are an unholy obsession because people lose all their money to cheap franchises like Candy Crush or Clash of Clans. Literally, someone became poor from wasting all of his money just to get more gems for his troops. Now, are you starting to make a connection between all of these mistakes?

People nowadays do not have any idea on when to put the phone down. We are all obsessed with phones that we have forgotten how to be humans and think for ourselves. If you want to talk to someone fine, just be smart with that smartphone.
