Advancing Technology and the Addiction of Cellphones

I recently asked a question to my friends on Facebook. The question was "Do you think our future generation will be addicted to their phones and technologies in the future. Feel free to say yes/no and why if you'd like." I got several comments of people just saying "yes" meaning yes they will be addicted. Not once did i get someone saying, "No." Some actually said why they'll be addicted to their phones and technologies, like John. "Yes, because in our society we strive to get the latest technology and we need it more and more in our everyday life to make it easier to live and to help our basic needs." He later adds, "it is becoming the norm of the way we do work,and the way we live. You can't live without a phone for example." I actually agree with him. Most of us are so attattched to our smart phones, that once we loose our smart phones, its impossible to downgrade to something less...extravagant. Another friend, Ivy, said, "yes because I had to down grade to a blackberry and I'm already dying from 4 days without my iphone. no joke. its really sad." I related to her, because one i upgraded to an Android and it broke, I had to downgrade to an LG. After having all that internet access, the apps,t he full keyboard, the games, ect. it was nearly impossible to go back to something that doesn't have all those features. I think those features on the smart phone help our addiction to our smart phones. Lastly, Ellie said, "yes because there's easier access to these new technologies. It makes things like connecting people fast and simple, or it's lazy and it's not as special. Like take letters for example, who mails letters to people anymore when you can just have Facebook or Hotmail do it for you? times are changing ..for sure" I think it will soon come to the point where we wont send letters anymore, we'll only be sending packages. I think that our technology will advance so fast that our future kids will be learning how to opperate their new technologies in schools. They've already replaced teaching kids how to write in cursive and they're already teaching them how to use the internet and type. What next? They'll be teaching us how to Facebook more appropriately?
