Anytime, Anywhere

This is my first official blog from my phone. My internet is not currently working and Im done trying to fix it. Too complicated.

Its crazy how now, we can do almost anything on phones. The name "Smart phone" does not do the device justice. More like life phones, because we all know that without it, we're as good as dead. What is even crazier to think about is the fact that around the time we were born, (assuming you're around seventeen years old) cell phones were just getting big and they were the size of a toaster! (Not those 4 slice toasters, those are gigantic) It is remarkable to think of how far technology has come in just 17 years. Phones are now as small as a hand and they have touch screens and internet. You know all about that because I bet you have a smart phone of some sort. And if, for some crazy reason you don't, I suggest you get one. It's the latest trend, and you know what they say about high schoolers and trends. If you're not in, you're out.

Smart phones are great, but I feel like there is more harm to them than good. Kids are on them all day at school, so when it comes time to do homework, they are clueless. Oh but don't worry, you can just tweet a friend and hope they see it. Which is very likely due two the fact that everyone has a twitter. Again, if you're not in, you're out.
Smart phones destroy social interactions. No one wants to walk up to the front door of a house and knock when they can just send a simple text saying "here" while awkwardly sitting in their car, waiting for the person to see the text. (Which will happen fast because we always have our phones on us) People don't want to call each other when they can just text or tweet one another. We live and speak through our phones. Its amazing we still have voices.

The craziest thing to think about is what our children will have. With technology advancing so fast, they can probably just teleport. I guess that solves the social interactions issue though.

I guess what im kind of getting at is that we all take too much pride in our phones. We would rather save our phones than our computer, because phones can do more. (Just do me a favor and read that last sentence again and really think of how insane that is. Thanks) I'm willing to prove I can survive a day without my phone, but can everyone? Challenge me.
