Question: Do cell phones keep us more connected to social communities or do they isolate us from each other.


In the last couple of decades, our world has seen a rapid growth of technology, not just in computers, there is technology in almost everyone's daily life, whether its a GPS to navigate, or solar panels on your roof, technology is all around us.

More specifically, cell phones, have evolved so rapidly over the past few decades, so much to the point where they have become a necessity of life for some, because they can make certain tasks very convenient. However as we know, everything has two sides. Cell-phones have presented us with an entirely new set of problems. If cell phones are there for the sole purpose of communication, is it possible that this generation and the ones to come are over-communicating? The increase of cell phones and social networking over the past couple of decades are meant to make it easier for us to communicate, but do these advances in technology really make it more complicated to express how we truly feel? Are we moving towards an age where humans have limited contact with each other?
