Mobile Effect – Minute by Minute update kids!
February 26th, 2009
Kids addicted to their Mobile Phones is a common disease today! I can see it all around me. Texting as if its an IM; Phone calls as if its breath. I feel blessed that my generation had those communication barriers, it allowed us so much time for our selves. That wait for a friend who is on his way to visit me, that importance of a get together, the feeling of seeing people face to face and not chatting/talking over a network…
The cellphone has certainly tampered with teen culture. And this change certainly comes with a turbulence. Children getting their hands on a cellphone @ Age of 8 is certainly now an encouraging figure. Kids are stuck to their cellphones like honeybees. Over a family dinner but a outgoing message every 30secs. In a college lecture but still connected via SMS to a dozen people (often in the same class), left alone for a min and there they go on a call… (Remember the Spanish kids sent to mental institute to get rid of cellphone addiction?)
