Some people's opinion are that having a cell phone is a big advantage, because of all the things that you can do on it. But my opinion is different once I started to read all the diffrent things of why they me may be bad for people, and how the may effect your life. Such as your health benefits towards having a cell phone it made me think how is having a cell phone a big advantage if it may affect your health life.

Ninety one percent of Americans that are adults and sixty percent teenagers own a device. There are many different reasons why mostly when adolescents parents get a device/cell phone they also decide to get their child one as well. By having a iphone, blackberry, or even just a flip phone can give you health problems between having to look at Emails, messages, contacting others, social media, calling, and more makes you more attracted to the phone just as much as you use it.

By having a cell phone it can cause serious migraines and headaches, just by looking at their phone screens for a long period of time. There is also a bad impact on a child's life. Just by looking at a cell phone's screen when used may cause their vision to get weak over time. If a young child has a phone that they use a lot it is also a bad idea to have social media along with having the phone, because if they have social media like Facebook, Instagram, snapchat, and more they will be more attracted to there phones and will be more connected to there friend with texting them and having more contact with them.

A survey was taken in 2013 showing that a really high percentage of Americans are going way over there time limit of being on there phones in one day. Most adults have social media accounts. But they check them from seventeen to twenty minutes. The maximum time should be at least three to four hours in a day. Not all at once but spread out throughout the day.

When people say that it's a good thing to be on there phones it's because they don't really care about their own health problems that they may have. They think of having a phone is a good use, with the advantage of having the news, weather, alerts. It may not sound like a bad thing when that it is useful towards things that are important.

This topic is very significant, It shows how cell phones can affect adults, as well as young adolescents. As well as having major health problems, by having migraine, headaches, and may cause weakness in their vision.
