“Ma’am, is your son’s name John Yal? He was brought into the emergency room and is currently undergoing surgery. He has a serious head wound, a broken arm, leg, and is bleeding excessively. He’s bleeding internally as well- a few ribs broke and punctured his lung. Mrs. Yal, do you hear me? Your son was in a car wreck on Highway 175. Ma’am?” The Nancy Yal slid to the recently cleaned, spotless, and shiny floor with her cell phone in her hand. Thank goodness she had her phone on her or else she wouldn’t have known about her son for hours. Similarly, everybody has experienced instances when cell phones have been a life-saver- whether it be with a distressed friend, angry boss, or a disappointed parent. Cell phones have affected people’s lives by improving communication and by being useful in everyday situations.

Cell phones improve communication by providing a quick way to chat or making it easier to talk to someone. For example, if a young attorney is in a rush to meet with a fresh-faced, falsely accused client, they don’t have to stop and chat with their friend- they have to do it on the go. Everybody becomes busy- some people are in a perpetual state of buzzing around like a bee looking for flowers- and it’s a proven fact that cell phones make it faster to keep in touch with those they care about. With a quick few quick taps, a person can send a message to someone knowing they care or call them as they hustle around doing chores. Similarly, cell phones make it easier for people to communicate. For instance, a 16-year-old boy who suffers from social anxiety will find it much simpler to pick up the phone to call a business or to text a friend than to go meet and talk in person. Cell phones provide an easier way to communicate to those with social deficits or to just talk in general. A person doesn’t even have to call anymore-they can just send a zippy text message and voila! they’ve been magically informed. Cell phones are very nifty for communication of all types

Cell phones are useful in everyday situations by means of being allowing the user to do on-the-spot research and to keep a person entertained. For example, a pair of young twenty-year-olds begin to have an argument over the correct definition of an acronym, and they can’t come to a conclusion about who’s right. However, that’s where the phone comes in. Able to do on the spot research on just about any topic your heart wants at the simplistic ‘thunks’ of a person’s fingers. Similarly at a person’s finger tips, cell phones house a world of myriad apps ,keeping a bored child from complaining or helping someone to avoid talking to someone they rather avoid. These doo-dads accommodate the user in almost every way- games, videos, music, and even education. Cell phones are helpful in mundane situations- helping to relieve boredom and solve disputes

Nancy is already in her car by the time she answers the man on the other end of the line. “Yes, and I’m on my way,” she states, before starting her beat-up Honda Civic and rushing towards the hospital. Cell phones just saved her son’s life, and her from even more heartbreak.
