INTRODUCTION
With the widespread of cellphones now, everyone has one, even your grandma. Cellphones are owned by 66.5% of the worlds population and in the U.S Alone 100% of people in the age group of 18-29 own a cell phone or mobile device. 40% of Americans claim to give their first kid a cell phone around the ages of 10. Cell phones are an everyday item, to contact people, use apps, make everyday life easier, and obtain information from the internet. But, we are developing addictions and people are being too depedents on cellphones. It is interesting that 92% of Americans believe that cellphone addiction is real. This issue even is relevant with the school system. Many schools have changed and have brought cellphone useage into school and I think this decisions outcome could be more negative then positive when it comes to academics.

Wileys Research article gives many evidential facts that go with my thesis statement with the intergration of cellphones and discovering that their are many distracting factors that come in to play. In this article the author goes into detail about Endogenous and exogenous interruptions. Endogenous occurs when you get the internal need or the feeling to check your phone, mostly noticed when students are bored and want to find something more rewarding or more entertaining to do. Exogenous interruptions are interruptions from external sources, many of which are your phone, notifications, vibration, the ding, or seeing other people using theirs. These urges are shown to cause many distractions upon students taking their attention off what they are doing (such as schoolwork). This article also talks about seperation of phones and says "Evidence shows that frequent cellphone users exhibit high levels of separation anxiety if they are unable to access their phone"(Wiley).

This Source provides more details in relevance to my first source. This source discusses the accessabbility people have to cellphones now a days, "88% of students ages 13-17 have access to smartphones."(Walker) With the rising use of smartphones and improvement, they are more then a "new school chewing gum". Many schools are bringing cellphones into classrooms, Pew Research Center reports that 73% off middle school and highschool classrooms use cellphones someway in their classroom. With google classroom and classes going to online many students prefer to use their phones rather then their computers, easier to type, always have it, and they can access anything anywhere. With the use of cellphones all the time brings dependence and addiction onto cellphones. Students are more reliant on their phones for everyday task, many using it to help or cheat on homework, and distractions come up more frequent and many students get off task. These are all important quotes that support my thesis.

This article goes into detail about a survey and test done on 937 students with the expectence "All participants reported that they had a smartphone and access to mobile Internet, and 29.78% of them used a cell phone for more than 5 hours a day, 41.3% for between 3 and 5 hours a day, and 28.92% for under 3 hours a day" (Weiling, et al.), many report they dont sleep due to being on their phones, their phone is the first thing they use when they wake up, and many find they are using their phones more and more. This article also goes over a 25 question test they performed and showed the results showing cellphones have shown a significant effect on mindfullness and social adaptation.
Why THIS CONCERNS ME
Cellphones Rising Negative Effect
This topic is important to me because I was able to grow up firsthand in the generation that had cellphones at a young age. I, like many others, I have experienced difficulty using technology for learning while walking the fine line of not getting distracted. I think technology, including cellphones, is really helpful for education and everyday tasks. But, cellphones must be used responsibily. With our generation being the next generation and will teach the next generation we need to be able to be less dependent of our phones.
