In our generation, the use of cell phones especially between teens have definitely grown. Everywhere you turn you'll see someone talking excessively on their phone; from the bus stop to classrooms, everyone seems to be on their phone 24/7! Although i think using a cell phone is beneficial to a person, it can also be dangerous for the users and the people around them. For instance,talking on the phone while driving is risky business, a careless action such as talking on the phone can easily take you to a trip the hospital. Along with using a cell phone while driving, i also think that the use of cell phones during class is inappropriate and disrespectful. i think that students should not be distracted from a learning environment so that they could talk and mingle with their friends. i must say however, there have been incidents where my cell phone has gone off during class, and frankly I was embarrassed. i was embarrassed because i disturbed my whole class and interrupted by teacher from giving the seminar!:( then there are those who are talk on their cell phones as if it was a mega phone; it's rude enough when people talk on their phones in a public place where people can hear every word you say, but when the whole city can hear what you ate for dinner last night, that is just plain crossing the line. Even though we get caught up in our personal or social life and our only way out may be our cell phones, we should learn to be more considerate when using our phones especially when there are people around us.
