Cell Phones and How They Affect People
Cellphones- They fit nicely into your pocket, and make talking to friends a lot easier. But there are hidden costs, like Texter's neck, lack of "people" skills (You can no longer confront someone in the first person, you require a phone to "tell them off") and, my personal pet peeve, the "text-friendly" version of the English language which includes; abbreviations, and misspelled words like there instead of their, or to instead of too. Why do people use this language? A, they don't care. B, they "save" time. Yes, a whole 1.2 seconds, your life is now considerably better because you used ur instead of your, or you're. I predict that by the mid/late-21st century, we'll lose the proper English language, and society will turn into "texting zombies".
