“... he thought it was important for parents to be able to easily contact their kids.”- Mayor Bill De Blasio (2006). Schools that ban phones from school, are doing it, because they think that they it is good for for students and that they are helping them learn. What they don’t know is that their phones could actually help them a lot more than without the phones. Students should be able to bring phones to school, because students could get important notifications, and help with social…
We use our phone to communicate with our family and friends. If we have relatives abroad, sometimes, we use our cell phone to talk to them using applications such as skype or viber.

When we get home after a day’s work, we often play with our phones to release the stress in our mind and help us relax. Sometimes, we play music from…
Have you ever been to class? I'm sure you have witnessed at least once in your student years a mobile phone going off during a lecture, buzzing loudly through the already too silent enviroment. It's so loud and obnoxious the whole classroom turns to that one point simultaniously, shaking their heads in disbelief. Or perhaps you've been guity of this as well. Me? I'm guilty as charged.

When they told me the city council is considering a proposal of banding cell phones from my perspective I was in between disagreeing and agreeing, I felt like I was solving a conundrum, but I had very advantageous reasons and this is what I thought. People today use their cell phone for everything, we search Google for information, communicate with others on them, and store important information on them. If people were not allowed to use their cell phones in a privately owned business people…

While driving, using a cell phone can make the task very dangerous. Talking or sending a message to someone on the phone limits one's ability to have full control over the car. I strongly agree with the law that prohibits driving while using a handheld cell phone. The roads must be as safe as possible for anyone driving or riding in a motorized vehicle. Others may disagree with the law, because they feel that one should have the right to make an important phone call, given the…

Cell phones should be illegal to use while driving because it's a distraction, it causes crashes, and a hazard to other driver's lives. Cellphones should not be…
