Cell Phones

When we talk about technology, it is hard to leave out the evolution of the cell phone.  I remember watching an episode of "Saved By the Bell" one Saturday morning and saw Screech but a gray block next to his ear.  I asked my mom what that was and she just laughed and said "That is a cell phone."  Fast forward several years and now we can virtually do anything we want on our Smart phones.  The Internet and by default the world is at our finger tips.  Try and imagine our world without cell phones.  It is hard because we are so used to having them, that I don't think we would be able to function properly or efficiently.  Although these smart phones have many positives, they have almost hurt our social interactions just as much.  People can have multiple conversations all at one time, but are they really personal through a screen?
