WRITE A COMPLETE ESSAY

Phones. They used to be bigger and only made for calling someone, and in terms of texting they used to take forever to send them. Now they are called electronic devices, and they are tactile, they use internet, and because of how easy and cheap is text messaging at the present time, it had turned calling someone the secondary way of communicating by phone. Now you can be text messaging with someone all day long wherever they are at cero cost. That is such a useful thing. There isn’t doubt that it keeps us now all in touch with each other. The problem comes when there is time with a conversation face to face with your friends, family members or other people.

 Just because there is three points of view doesn’t mean that only one of them is right. The use of electronic devices have become something essential. Having a phone nowadays is like an extra wallet. You can check your email, buy online, text, play games, go over your social networks… And in some cases that makes an addiction. I know about many people (Including me) that take their phone out to check the time, and they end up in Facebook or Twitter, and when they put the phone back in the pocket they realized that they don’t know the time.

Something similar occurs in conversations. That obsession to check your phone has become something that interrupts conversations. The same thing that happens when you try to check the time, takes place when you are with someone, and you don’t know what to talk about. It looks as if the phone was like an excuse to avoid conversation. Sometimes people take out their phone because they are used to it, and even if they don’t have any notifications they just take it out to scroll down their Twitter timeline. That makes cuts in the conversations, and it doesn’t seem very smart, that’s why people wonder if it’s making us stupid.

There is no doubt that people able to maintain a conversation without having to reach out to their phone is synonym of “higher education”. It’s very ridiculous to meet with someone to remain sitting, be talking to someone else and not paying attention. But having conversation, using phones to make it more fun and more enjoyable for everyone is a symptom of educated people able to use their education to enjoy life. If a conversation is boring why should you keep paying attention to it? Try to make it amusing. For instance, taking a picture or watching a video about something from the past can perfectly be part of a conversation, so don’t let your phone use you, use your phone to enjoy with others.
