Phones have a big impact in our society

As long as I can remember, I have had technology in my life, and it has made an incredible impact on me. I have had some sort of technology since I was young, and that is something that I have always loved.

The question I have always had is: why does technology make such a big impact in our daily lives? The way that I see it is that we need technology to work through everything — whether that means kids, teenagers, or adults. Everyone uses technology in some sort of way. This brings up the question of why schools do not want us to have our phones in our classes.

Schools talk about how they are using technology to make learning more assessable, but students are not allowed to use their phones. In a way, I can see why schools do not want students to have their phones, but I think if they can manage the phone usage in class, then it will make the best of both words.

Phones do not stop people from talking to their friends or talking to their parents at all, so I do not really understand what the point is. Schools want students to communicate with their parents through email if there is an emergency, but that is unrealistic because not every student or parent will check their email.

A parent’s first reaction when there is a family emergency is not to call the school. It’s to immediately try to contact the student through their phone by texting them.

However, while I do not think that students should be looking at their phones every single second of the day, I do think that what schools want is unreasonable. Considering that technology has always been in people’s lives, it is something that our generation has grown up with.

Schools can manage the usage of phones but not completely ban them. With banning them, there will be people sneaking them and finding a way to use their phones. Schools have a good thought process with not allowing phones, but usage can be regulated.
