How phones effect your everyday life Rough Draft
For many of us, myself included, our cell phone screens are the last thing we check before we go to bed at night and the first thing we look in the morning.
I see people texting and driving and almost every day I am behind someone at a red light who is looking down when the light turn greens.
When you eat out, it is completely normal to see patron's cell phones at the table by their beverage. Also normal to see them checking their device during the duration of their dining experience. You almost never see children (even toddlers) sitting at the table without a tablet or phone as they play a game or watch a show or movie.
