“You want to go back to the days of crime, murder, and terrorism, phones keep us happy and safe.” The reason crime isn't happening anymore in this dystopia is because of the phones. The phones kept them distracted from everything and then the world became revolved around phones and social media and just technology in general. This kept going to the point where phones were mandatory and people were being watched to make sure everyone had a phone.

Do to this fact Russel failed to see the future implications of a device with such broad functionality. Bill Thornton, author of “The
The non-fiction reading called “A Cell of Our Own Making” by Moira Farr concentrated on cellphones and their importance in people’s daily life. The author goes in detail on how cellphones are given more importance and how far we has a society dependent on cellphone. The reading states that “It was now standard to ask student to turn off their cellphones before class, they ring anyways and one of student asked the teacher to leave the class just so he can answer the phone (Farr, 6)”.

Smartphones serve many purposes, and have created massive societal effects throughout the world despite being introduced roughly only two decades ago. One can converse with anyone in the world at any given moment, they can watch any television show they want, and they can receive alerts so they no longer have to put effort into remembering things themselves. However, with so much control over people’s own lives, one begins to wonder about the negative consequences of the smartphones themselves.

This quote by Turkle embodies how I feel about the technology debate and the more new technology and phones have developed the more we have analyzed whether or not they are good for our society, and at what age kids should use them.
The author also illustrates the image of technology that how people are using without interacting each other. I agree with the author’s point that technology has a huge impact on our
Technology is constantly evolving, and changing how we live our day to day life. The PEW Research Center found that 68% of adults have a smartphone, while 86% of people between the ages of 18 and 29 do. Technology evolves so fast that people don’t even realize that the smartphones most people have did not exist twenty years ago. Sometimes technology changes so fast people don’t realize the harm that can come from it. Every time technology advances the need for offline face to face interactions decrees.

While there is a very clear argument for how the technology is effected on us and causing social isolation as we know, but in another way is also the argument that these technologies are helping us to become more social in our society.
