You’ll also have to pay for some of the apps that you use. So this all cost can be your expenses when you have Smartphone, you have to planning for you money for spending of each month. 2.

...Effects of smartphones in class The number of kids with phones has just been blown out of the water the last couple of year. Four years ago, if any of the students in class had a phone, it was a dial-phone that maybe they could text on. And now , it’s all smartphones. It’s been an issue in schools, colleges, and universities across the country for quite some time. In fact, cellular phones were an early problem when students were distracted by phone calls and texts messaging, but now smartphones can do just about anything your computer or laptop can, but in an easily concealable handheld device. Assalamualaikum and a very good morning to our respective teachers and my fellow friends. Today I will be talking about the effects of smartphones. Smartphones is a cellular phone that performs many of the functions of a computer, typically having a touchscreen interface, Internet access, and an operating system capable of running downloaded applications.

The use of phones is usually discouraged on the first day of class by teachers and professors, or talked about in the class syllabus with consequences for even the first infraction. After all, since smartphones pretty much allow you to do anything you want these days, having them in the classroom might be distracting students more than ever. Smartphones allow students to text, check, and interact...

...The English language has been negatively affected by the rise of the Internet, smartphones and social media. To begin with, the Internet has had a significant impact on the teenagers’ lifestyle. This in turn has brought about a dramatic change in the level of English used. Firstly, adolescents in schools have recently created new acronyms to be used on the Internet such as in discussion boards or blogs. Examples of acronyms contain: ‘FYI’ (which stands for ‘for your information’), ‘TMI’ (which stands for ‘too much information’), ‘BRB’ (which stands for be right back) and ‘TTYL’ (which stands for ‘talk to you later’). As a result, these new acronyms have caused students’ English proficiency to deteriorate. The spread of the recently created acronyms have been incorporated into students’ writings which therefore gives the teachers a harder time of ‘reiterating’ the importance of being able to distinguish between the ‘social networking language’ and ‘academic writing’ This means that the students might later suffer in university when it comes to writing a professional report in their field of interest. In the meantime, the effect of adolescents using up-to-date smartphones has given more evidence to linguists on how the English language is being misused. From the beginning, students are starting to make more unintended grammatical errors in their writing assignments at school. The cause of students increasingly making more errors in schoolwork is directly related to text messages...

As such, they are capable of so much more than most people realize. There are several aspects of this fairly modern technology that many people may not have considered, both good and bad. It has been widespread in news feeds lately how governments are spying on individuals via their cell phones, but this capability can also be utilized for legitimate purposes. Few people know that if a crime occurs at a given location, Law enforcement can request access to cell phone global positioning system (GPS) records from providers to see if one was in the immediate area at the time the crime occurred, thus giving them a list of suspects and witnesses. Multiple new industries have sprung up with the advent of the modern cell phone ranging from manufactures and accessory manufactures as well as companies and individuals who have almost overnight become millionaires by writing and selling programs for the phones. Even clothing manufactures have redesigned their clothing to accommodate the modern cell phone. Repurposing of cell phones has recently become widespread, with old cell phones being utilized as alarm clocks to IP surveillance cameras, adding new life to otherwise discarded technology. Impact of Cell Phones on Civilization When portable phones first came into existence a few years...
