A mobile phone, cell phone, cellphone, or hand phone, sometimes shortened to simply mobile, cell or just phone, is a portable telephone that can make and receive calls. Cell phones are a big part of our lives, in fact, it would be rather difficult to function in today’s society without your mobile. Whether we like it or not, our cell phones are part of our everyday lives, and without them most of us tend to feel a little lost. Cell phones are so integrated into our lives that there’s now a phobia called nomophobia, which is the fear of being without your cell phone (or phone signal). Having a cell phone can help in emergency situations. When you spend time traveling to work or school, you can listen to your music. Some cell phones use a media center that gives you a way to download songs. A good reason to have a cell phone involves sending text messages. Teens are more likely to respond to calls, text while driving, and riding than adults. They talk and text on the phone without realizing that it can cost their lives. Even the U.S. Government Website for Distracted Driving has proven that traffic crashes are the leading cause of death in teens.
